MONTVALE, N.J. (AP) — A school bus carrying 31 people overturned
on the Garden State Parkway in New Jersey, sending more than a
dozen people to hospitals, officials said.
New Jersey State Police said 15 people, including the driver and
14 young people, were treated for injuries from the Monday night
crash. Video from the scene showed a yellow school bus on its
side with the rear emergency door open and a large number of
emergency responders.
Gov. Phil Murphy said in a social media post that he had been
briefed on the crash involving a bus from Lakewood. State police
and the state Department of Transportation were on the scene and
an investigation was ongoing, he said.
Montvale Mayor Mike Ghassali said in a social media post that no
deaths were reported, but there was one serious injury — a
14-year-old boy who was pinned under the overturned bus.
Ghassali said the bus was headed to New York state. The borough
of Montvale borders New York state.
