Three passengers are dead after a crash between a vehicle and a charter bus in Dauphin County late Sunday night.
The crash happened during heavy rain at about 11:50 p.m. Sunday on southbound Interstate 81 in Dauphin County’s Lower Paxton Township, near Harrisburg, state police said. The bus struck an embankment, struck the rear end of a car, and flipped on its side.
The bus, carrying between 45 to 50 passengers, came to rest on the right berm of the road.
Several people were taken to Hershey Medical Center for varying injuries, according to state police.
Route 81 southbound remained shut down between exits 77 and 72.
Chambers Hill Fire Department is open for passengers and the Red Cross will be on site to provide assistance.
