One person is dead and at least 10 passengers are injured after a bus carrying 23 people, including the driver, crashed and rolled over on Interstate 87 in New York on Friday. The single-vehicle incident involving a Skyway Coach Lines bus occurred at about 12:50 p.m. in the upstate town of Lake George, according to a statement[1] from the New York State Police.
The bus was headed southbound to New York City from Montreal — about a 370-mile route — when it rolled over onto its side between exits 23 and 22 on Interstate 87.

A conflicting report from local news site NEWS10 ABC[3], however, confirmed with hospital officials that “12 patients from the crash” were taken to Glens Falls Hospital and one patient from the crash is at Albany Medical Center. PEOPLE has reached out to state police for more details about the crash as well as to Glens Falls Hospital for an updated headcount and status of the hospitalized passengers.
