LEON HARRIS, CNN ANCHOR: We are just getting late breaking word right now on a story that we want you to hear about before we go on. A school bus is missing in Berks County, Pennsylvania.

This school bus has 10 to 20 children on it, these are children in grades one through nine. We understand they were picked up at Oley High School about 8:20 a.m., and they were to be taken to Berks Christian Academy in Exeter, which is about 15 minutes away from that point, and this is all in Oley Township, Pennsylvania. We understand from the police there are conditions there -- in the area were rainy and foggy, and they are still trying to find out where the bus is.

They say that the bus was supposed to have traveled along Route 662, which is also known as the Oley Turnpike Road. Now, they have released the license plate number of this bus, it is SC 32431. If that looks or sounds like anything anyone out there has seen, please get in touch with the police.

We understand there is a male driver on the bus, and he is some 60 to 70-years-old, and as we say, he has got 10 to 20 children with him on this bus, and this is in Berks County, Pennsylvania.

We'll keep you updated on this story as we learn more about it.
