The bus apparently went off of the road and crashed into a tree but there is no word yet on what caused the driver to lose control.  The bus company has sent a team that is still investigating.  Pennsylvania State Police are not yet releasing any information.

This is the second large bus accident involving students in Pennsylvania in as many months.  On February 3, 2013 a Calvary Coach bus carrying members of the Destined for a Dream Foundation was leaving the Harvard area when the driver attempted, unsuccessfully, to drive under an overpass with a ten-foot clearance.  About three dozen high school students who had toured Harvard University, along with their chaperones, were injured.
