Fire officials said 36 people were on board, including the driver, when the bus overturned. The passengers included a mix of adults and teenagers. Those who weren’t hospitalized had minor injuries or didn’t report any injuries, fire officials said.
Roads were dry and winds were minimal when the bus overturned, said Ryan Beckers, a spokesperson with the Fire Department. The bus was traveling downhill on its way back to Orange County from a camp near Angelus Oaks, Beckers said.
