20 Injured When Bus Carrying Bronx Students Crashes In Adirondacks
MINERVA, N.Y. (CBSNewYork/AP) -- Twenty people were hospitalized Monday after a bus carrying Bronx college students home from a weekend retreat overturned on a snowy Adirondack highway upstate.
A bus operated by W&D Tours of Brooklyn was southbound on state Route 28N in Minerva shortly after 10:30 a.m. Monday when it slid off the road, toppled down a bank and landed on its roof, New York State Police said.
Police say the bus carried 36 SUNY Maritime College students, two staff members and the driver.
Rescuers took four injured passengers to Glens Falls Hospital in Glens Falls. The rest were taken to Minerva Central School, and 16 were later treated for minor injuries at the hospital.
Minerva is 75 miles north of Albany.
