Clark County, IN : 21 people injured when bus carrying members of the Indiana Tech bowling team crashed and overturned on Interstate 65 in southern Indiana on Thursday, March 12, 2015

A charter bus carrying 16 members of the Indiana Institute of Technology (Indiana Tech) coed bowling team was involved in a rollover crash on I-65 southbound near the 22 mile marker. The crash occurred at approximately 10:25 Thursday morning as the team was traveling to Smyrna Tennessee to compete in a United States Bowling Congress Sectional Competition.

A preliminary investigation reveals that the commercial charter bus was south bound I-65 just north of the Henryville Rest Park when, for an unknown reason, the vehicle partially drove off the east side of the roadway and into the median. The vehicle then drove back onto the roadway and crossed over both southbound lanes of travel before continuing off the west side of the roadway. After leaving the roadway, the bus spun clockwise and overturned as it traveled down the embankment on the west side of the interstate. The bus came to rest facing north.

All 21 passengers were transported to three area hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries. Eight passengers were transported to Scott Memorial Hospital in Scottsburg, one was transported to Clark County Hospital in Jeffersonville, and twelve were transported to University of Louisville Hospital. Both ground and air ambulances were utilized to transport the injured. One passenger at U of L Hospital was listed in serious condition.

I-65 southbound was closed for approximately three hours as Indiana State Police Troopers and reconstructionist investigated the crash scene. Traffic was temporarily diverted on to southbound US 31 in Scottsburg.
