HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — A school bus carrying about 20 high school students veered off an interstate Monday and overturned, injuring an undetermined number of people, authorities said.
The bus ended up below the I-565 overpass.
"Right now, we're just trying to stabilize injuries, save lives and we'll get more information as it's available," Huntsville police spokesman Wendell Johnson said.
"We know there were approximately, and this is an approximate number now, 20 students that were on a bus that were high school students that were en route from the Huntsville Center for Technology," Keith Ward, a city schools spokesman, told WAAY-TV. "We know that there was an incident and overturned bus and we've got a very serious situation."
State trooper spokeswoman Dorris Teague said she did not have any immediate information on the accident.
