Eight people were injured, including five special needs children, when a school bus overturned from a collision with a taxi Monday morning, officials said.

According to officials, an SUV taxi slammed into the bus at 6:24 a.m. on 150th Street in Briarwood. One adult suffered a serious head injury, according to an FDNY spokesman, and two other adults and five children had minor injuries. None of the victims were identified.

The children, ranging from 8 to 10 years old, were taken to Jamaica Hospital.
