KABUL: (Middle East Press) A bus carrying 50 college students overturned Sunday night in Virginia, leaving one person seriously injured and 35 others aboard with minor injuries, authorities said.
The bus overturned on an exit ramp of the Powhite Parkway in North Chesterfield County just south of Richmond, the state capital.
Lt. Jason Elmore, a spokesman for Chesterfield County Fire and Emergency Medical Services, told reporters Sunday night that none of the 34 other injuries was believed to be life-threatening — mainly bumps, bruises and other injuries ‘that would be consistent with a vehicle accident’.
The driver reportedly lost control on a curve on the ramp.
The students are from Virginia Tech and Radford universities and the University of Virginia.
The students were being transported back to their colleges on a bus operated by a local ride-share transportation service when it overturned about 7:15 p.m., according to state police.
