A charter bus in New York carrying students from Long Island to band camp overturned on Thursday, killing two while leaving another 42 injured.
Officials say the crash occurred on Interstate 84 just outside of “Middletown in Orange County at 1:12 p.m.,” according to PIX11.
“It was one of six buses carrying students from Farmingdale High School to a band camp in Greeley, in northeastern Pennsylvania, according to the school district,” noted the outlet. “Five students were hospitalized in critical condition after the crash, officials said.”
The two people who died in the crash were later identified as 43-year-old Gina Pellettiere and 77-year-old Beatrice Ferrari. Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) spoke out about the crash, saying that a faulty tire likely contributed to it.
