California bus crash leaves dozens injured, 2 critically
HIGHLAND, Calif. (AP) — Authorities say a shuttle bus has overturned on a highway in Southern California’s San Bernardino Mountains, leaving two people critically injured, four with moderate injuries and 20 with minor injuries.
San Bernardino County Fire Capt. Jeremy Kern says the bus turned on to its side across State Route 330 shortly after 2 p.m. Sunday.
Kern says two patients were airlifted to hospitals, and four more with moderate injuries were taken to hospitals in ground ambulances.
Twenty people had minor injuries including scrapes and bruises and were being examined at the scene.
It wasn’t immediately clear who owns the bus or where it was going.
The highway was shut down for a 16-mile stretch between Highland and Running Springs. The area is about 60 miles east of Los Angeles.
