Multiple children were on board at the time of the crash, police say.

Twenty-four adult patients were admitted to one local hospital, and doctors say they’re expected to make a full recovery. Other area hospitals also received patients, and those under 16 who survived were taken to a children’s hospital.

One witness told The Buffalo News that he saw a bus lying on its side and items strewn on the roadway following the crash.

“There was glass all over the road and people’s stuff all over the road,” said Powell Stephens, who drove past the crash site.

“Windows were all shattered. Everyone seemed conscious and OK, but I only saw the scene for about 15 seconds.”
