Around 23 passengers were on board, and no life-threatening injuries were reported as crews blocked lanes and investigated the rollover.
On Tuesday, a Wanda Coach bus carrying 23 passengers overturned on the NYS Thruway in the Town of Plattekill, Ulster County, between Exit 18 and Exit 17.
While the cause remains under investigation, including potential weather factors, one passenger from Brooklyn reported the bus was sideswiped by a truck.
Emergency crews, including New Paltz Rescue Squad and Wallkill Ambulance, responded to the scene; Everett Erichsen confirmed 11 people were taken to local hospitals, though no life-threatening injuries were reported.
Approximately 17 non-injured passengers were transported to a reunification center established by the Ulster County Office of Emergency Management, while the crash caused four-mile delays southbound.
