One child is dead and four others were injured after a school bus collided with a dump truck in Kuna Idaho on Thursday, according to media reports.

The accident occurred around 8 a.m. at a four-way intersection of a rural country road. Canyon County Coroner Vicki DeGeus-Morris confirmed the death and identified the child as 11-year-old Daniel Robert Cook.

The school bus, on its way to Crimson Point Elementary school, approached the intersection from the east side. On the bus' side there was a stop sign. The dump truck approached the intersection on Happy Valley Road from the north, but there was no stop sign on its side, The Associated Press reported.  

Authorities are currently investigating the cause of the accident. Idaho State Police Sgt. John Burke told the AP they don't know yet exactly how the collision occurred. School officials said the school bus did not have seatbelts for the students, The Chicago Tribune reported.

Twelve children in the sixth grade or below were on the bus. The parents of the child who died have been notified, but the parents of the other injured children have not been reached yet, Canyon County Sheriff spokeswoman Theresa Baker told the AP.

"It's a horrible...its' a terrible thing," Burke told the AP. "The family (of the deceased child) is devastated. They need our prayers and all we can do is hope they can get through it."

Reports said the other injured children, along with one injured adult, were taken to local hospitals.  A spokesman for St. Alphonsus Regional Medical Center said two children were taken to the hospital's Boise center, while the other two were taken to hospital's Nampa location, The AP reported.

Neither of the bus drivers suffered injuries, but the female bus driver was traumatized and taken to the hospital, the AP reported.
