MONTVALE, N.J. — A school bus carrying 31 people overturned on the Garden State Parkway in New Jersey, sending more than a dozen people to hospitals, officials said.

New Jersey State Police said 15 people, including the driver and 14 young people, were treated for injuries from the Monday night crash. Video from the scene showed a yellow school bus on its side with the rear emergency door open and a large number of emergency responders.

Gov. Phil Murphy said in a social media post that he had been briefed on the crash involving a bus from Lakewood. State police and the state Department of Transportation were on the scene and an investigation was ongoing, he said.

Montvale Mayor Mike Ghassali said in a social media post that no deaths were reported, but there was one serious injury — a 14-year-old boy who was pinned under the overturned bus. Ghassali said the bus was headed to New York state. The borough of Montvale borders New York state.
