Bus Crash Leaves 1 Dead and More Injured in New York Interstate Rollover

One person was killed and at least 10 passengers were injured after a bus carrying 23 people, including the driver, crashed and overturned on Interstate 87 in New York on Friday.

The one-vehicle incident involving a Skyway Coach Lines bus happened around 12:50 p.m. in the upstate city of Lake George, according to a statement from the New York State Police.

The bus was heading south toward New York from Montreal — about 570 miles — when it overturned on its side between exits 23 and 22 on Interstate 87.

“It has been confirmed that one person was killed, one passenger with serious injuries and 10 passengers whose lives are not in danger,” according to the police statement.

However, a conflicting report by local news outlet NEWS10 ABC confirmed to hospital officials that “12 patients from the accident” were taken to Glens Falls Hospital and one patient from the accident was at Albany Medical Center.

PEOPLE has reached out to state police for more details on the crash, as well as Glens Falls Hospital for an update on the number of people and the status of hospitalized passengers.
