FRAILEY TOWNSHIP, Pa. — Thirty-two people were injured Sunday afternoon when a bus carrying high school students and church leaders crashed in Frailey Township, Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania State Police told WFMZ that the bus driver lost control of the Premiere #1 Limousine bus, causing the vehicle to leave the road, cross over an exit ramp and strike a guardrail. The bus then hit an embankment and traveled 50 yards into a wooded area, the TV station reported.
State police said it appears the bus was the only vehicle involved in the crash, WFMZ reported.
Although five of the crash victims were initially listed in critical condition, only three retained the designation by Monday night, WHP-TV reported.
According to WHP-TV, the bus was carrying students and volunteer church leaders, traveling home to the Lives Changed by Christ Church in Manheim, Pennsylvania, from a ministry retreat in New York.
Five people were airlifted to area hospitals following the crash, and the 37-year-old driver, Adam Wright, is listed in serious condition, the TV station reported.
