Bus overturned about 20 miles north of Pittsburgh while carrying players from Aliquippa junior high school
A bus carrying a junior high football team to a game crashed on Saturday north of Pittsburgh, sending 21 of the 28 people onboard to the hospital, officials said.
Twenty-five Aliquippa junior high students and three adults were headed to a game in nearby Gibsonia. The crash occurred in Economy Borough, about 20 miles north of Pittsburgh.
The Economy Borough police chief, Michael O’Brien, said he didn’t have information on the medical status of those taken to hospitals.
O’Brien said he understood the bus turned on its side during the crash but came back upright as the students were evacuating the vehicle.
