HENRYVILLE, Ind. (AP) – A bus carrying members of a college bowling team crashed Thursday morning along a southern Indiana highway while en route to a tournament in Tennessee, injuring numerous students, officials said.
Indiana Tech spokesman Brian Englehart said the bus was carrying 16 members of the Fort Wayne school’s men and women’s bowling teams and members of the coaching staff to a tournament in Smyrna, Tennessee.
State Police Cpl. Carey Huls said the bus swerved to the left while traveling in Interstate 65’s southbound lanes before swerving to the right and overturning. The accident happened just north of Henryville, about 20 miles north of Louisville, Kentucky.
“We don’t know the cause but the bus did drive off the left side of the roadway and crossed back over both lanes before going off the right side of the road. It went over the embankment and overturned, and then it rolled into some trees,” Huls said.
Video showed the white bus on its side in a grassy area off the highway with debris strewn about.
