Troopers said in a news release that most of the injuries were minor, but two of the workers were seriously injured and taken to a hospital in Greenville.

Authorities say the bus was going about 45 mph around 6 a.m. Monday when the flatbed trailer going about 60 mph hit it from behind near Tarboro.
