Bus carrying high school students to band camp crashes, killing 2 and seriously injuring others
Associated PressMIDDLETOWN, N.Y. — A charter bus carrying high school students to a band camp veered off a New York highway and tumbled down an embankment Thursday, killing two adults and seriously injuring several others, officials said. The bus was one of six in a caravan taking the marching band, color guard and dancers from Farmingdale High School on Long Island on a beloved annual trip to a camp in Greeley, in northeastern Pennsylvania. The charter bus carrying high school students to a band camp hurtled off a New York highway and down an embankment, officials said. Anthony Eugenio, who spoke to The Associated Press from a car as his mother drove him home, said his thought as the bus turned over and over was “This can’t be real.” Bruce Blakeman, the county executive in Nassau County, where Farmingdale High School is located, asked that people please “pray for the injured.” ___ Calvan and Associated Press writer Karen Matthews reported from New York City.
