CHILE, NY — Rescue operations were underway Thursday morning after a bus carrying passengers overturned on a highway near Rochester, New York, according to the governor.
It was not immediately clear if there were any serious injuries.
The bus overturned on Interstate 490 west of Rochester, forcing the highway to be closed in both directions so first responders could work, Gov. Kathy Hochul said in a prepared statement.
Video posted on social media showed ambulances at the scene.
“I join the people of New York in praying for the well-being of all involved in this tragic incident and I am deeply grateful for the heroic efforts of our first responders,” Hochul said.
Calls for information were made to the police.
