A bus carrying the University of Maine women’s basketball team crashed on Interstate 95 near Georgetown Tuesday evening, according to a press release. Maine is scheduled to face Boston University Wednesday night at 7 pm.
The bus was headed southbound, presumably toward BU, when it collided with a car and crossed a median, rolling off the road into the woods, according to a press release from the Massachusetts State Police. A police car at the scene was also struck by another car.
The driver of the bus was seriously injured, and was airlifted to the Boston Medical Center for treatment. All other injuries were minor, but 22 people were taken to the hospital by ambulance as a precaution.
The bus was owned by the John T. Cyr & Sons Inc. bus line in Old Town, Maine. According to police, the company is currently still gathering information about the incident.
No word has been said regarding the status of Wednesday night’s game between the Terriers and Black Bears.
UMaine officials were unavailable for comment at press time.
