Six-year-old twin boys, Xzavier Ingle and Mason Ingle, and their 9-year-old sister, Alivia Stahl, were killed in a statement.
An 11-year-old student who is not related to the siblings was also struck by the 2017 Toyota Tacoma. The child was airlifted to a hospital with life-threatening injuries, including multiple broken bones, state police spokesman Sgt. Tony Slocum told CNN.
Alyssa L. Shepherd, of Rochester, was arrested at her workplace. The arrest warrant alleges three felony counts of reckless homicide and a misdemeanor count of passing a school bus with the stop arm extended, causing injury.
Shepherd, who had stayed at the scene following the incident, was being held on a $ 15,000 bond. It was not immediately clear that she had an attorney.
The incident occurred just before dawn. The school bus was on a two-lane road when it stopped for children, with the police arrested.
The children were standing on the opposite side of the road when they were hit by the Toyota.
"Our hearts go out to all involved, it's a pretty sad day in Indiana," Slocum told CNN. "When you stop doing it, you're required to stop, and that's to avoid a tragic situation."
Rochester is about 50 miles west of Fort Wayne in central Indiana.
The National Transportation Safety Board is sending a team to investigate the crash.
