New York, NY : Bus crashes on highway in Long Island on Sunday, 8th April 2018

A bus carrying a group of high-school students who had just returned from a spring-break trip to Europe slammed into an overpass on a Long Island highway Sunday night, leaving the roof torn off.

The charter bus crashed at about 9 p.m. into the low bridge in Lakeview on the Southern State Parkway — where such vehicles are restricted from traveling — severely injuring at least six people, one critically, law-enforcement sources said.

“There was glass everywhere,” said James Cardi, who was in a passing car. “A majority of the kids were standing by the guardrail, but there were people still trapped inside.”

The bus was carrying 38 students, one driver and five chaperones, according to Commander Major David Candelaria of the New York State Police.
