Eyewitness accounts describe the bus losing control before rolling over, and police noted that many passengers were not wearing seatbelts. Although there were 52 passengers aboard, a child initially believed to be a victim was later ruled out. Local hospitals treated twenty-four adult patients, most expected to recover fully, while translation services were made available for victims from diverse backgrounds.
State police commander Andre Ray Major provided updates at a news conference, stating that while the cause of the collision is still under investigation, both mechanical failure and operator impairment have been excluded. The bus was seen lying on its side with debris scattered across the roadway, devastating onlookers. ConnectLife has raised a blood donation appeal in response to the situation, and the Red Cross has established a family reunification center for those affected. Authorities are also seeking dashcam footage from motorists in the area during the incident to assist in the ongoing investigation.
