HOMESTEAD (CBS4) ― Two people were hurt and taken to the hospital following a school bus accident at the Everglades Alligator Farm in Homestead.

Miami-Dade Fire Rescue were called to the Homestead tourist attraction, located at 40351 SW 192nd Avenue, after a school bus went into a ditch, on the stretch of road leading into and out of the attraction's parking lot.

In video shot by Chopper 4, the school bus can be seen in the ditch leaning precariously over on its side.

The two people transported to the hospital suffered minor injuries, according to Miami-Dade Fire Rescue officials. It's unknown, however, whether they were children or adults.

This privately owned attraction is a real working alligator farm, according to its website. It's currently home to about 2,000 alligators of all sizes. The smaller alligators are kept in growout pens and the larger alligators are in natural settings called breeding ponds. It was first opened in 1982.
