Thirty children were sent to the hospital this week after a summer camp bus crashed on a highway in Idaho, authorities said.
Eleven of the kids were injured after the crash in Banks, Idaho, on Friday afternoon, with seven of them said to be in critical condition, while the other four were deemed non-critical, according to a Facebook post from the Idaho State Police.
“All children on the bus were transported by air or ground ambulance to local hospitals in an abundance of caution,” authorities said.
All of the kids involved were between 13 and 18 years old, according to Idaho State Police.
Authorities said the bus was one of four heading back to the Treasure Valley Family YMCA when the incident took place. No other buses were involved, they added.
