School bus overturns on I-81 in Pa., injuring 25 (AP)

CHAMBERSBURG, Pa. – Officials in central Pennsylvania say a school bus has overturned on Interstate 81, injuring more than two dozen adults and children, but no life-threatening injuries were reported.

The (Chambersburg) Public Opinion says the bus from the Cumberland Valley Christian School was heading north on the highway when it overturned near Chambersburg in Franklin County on Sunday afternoon. Fire companies and ambulances from several stations responded and helped remove passengers from the bus.

Summit Health spokeswoman Jessica Walter said 18 adults and children from ages 9 to 12 were taken to Chambersburg Hospital, and seven other patients were taken to Waynesboro Hospital. But she said all patients in both hospitals were reported to be stable and there were no life-threatening injuries.
