March 12, 2015: Police say multiple injuries are expected after a tour bus overturned on Interstate 65 in southern Indiana.
A tour bus carrying members of an Indiana college bowling team overturned Thursday morning along Interstate 65 in southern Indiana, causing multiple injuries.
Scottie Maples of the Clark County Sheriff's Department told WDRB-TV the accident occurred on southbound on Interstate 65 just north of Henryville, Indiana.
Maples says there are reports of "multiple injuries" in the accident. The extent of the injuries wasn't immediately known.
Indiana Tech, based in Fort Wayne, Ind., said the bus was carrying 16 members of the university’s men’s and women’s bowling teams, along with their coaches, who were traveling to a sectional tournament in Smyrna, Tenn., according to WDRB-TV.
A Clark County sheriff's office dispatcher says six medical choppers have been called to the scene, about 20 miles north of Louisville, Kentucky. Indiana State Police Trooper Mary Sanchez told the News and Tribune that ground ambulances also were on the scene.
“There is going to be many injuries, no doubt,” she said.
The bus belongs to Ohio-based Excursions Trailways. The company told the News and Tribune that it is still in the process of gathering information about the crash and does not yet have anything to disclose.
Video shows the white bus on its side in a grassy area off the highway with debris strewn about.
