Junior High Bus Crashes, Sending 21 to Hospital

A bus carrying a junior high football team to a game crashed Saturday north of Pittsburgh, sending 21 of the 28 people on board to the hospital, per the AP. Two people remained hospitalized Saturday night, including a member of the team in critical condition, reports CBS News. The age and condition of the other person were not available. In all, 25 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. Economy Borough Police Chief Michael O'Brien said the bus turned on its side during the crash but came back upright as the students were evacuating the vehicle. The police chief said the crash occurred in a tough spot in the road. "It's on a bad bend," O'Brien said. "It's being investigated now to determine what happened." Earlier this week, five people were killed in the crash of a tour bus in New York state.
