Indiana State Police Sergeant Shawn O'Keefe said the bus,
which was operated by Megabus, was near the city of Greenwood
when it flipped on its side at about 4:30 a.m. local time on
Interstate 65.
Between six and eight people were seriously injured, while
roughly 20 others suffered moderate to minor injuries, O'Keefe
said, adding that about 60 people were on the bus at the time.
It was not immediately clear if any of the injuries were
life-threatening.
O'Keefe said the driveruhad told company officials that the
vehicle was struck by another car that was attempting to avoid a
crash that happened 10 minutes earlier. Rain had fallen in the
area overnight, police said.
