Pennsylvania Bus Crash Kills 2 and Injures 32

CLEARFIELD, Pa. (AP) — A bus veered off a highway and crashed in central Pennsylvania early Sunday, killing two people and injuring 32 others, authorities said.

The bus was eastbound on I-80 with 36 people on board when it crashed six miles west of Clearfield around 3:30 a.m., state police said.

The bus ran off the right side of the two-lane highway before veering left across the roadway, running up an embankment and flipping onto its side in a grassy area, trooper Jamie Levier said at an afternoon news conference.

Thirty-two people ranging in age from a toddler to a 50-year-old were treated for wounds including lung and abdominal injuries, hospital officials said.
