Somers Point, NJ
New Jersey State Police say that a preliminary investigation showed that one of the rear wheels of a school bus became detached during a crash that landed nearly three dozen students in the hospital with minor injuries.
The bus crashed near mile-marker 34 of the Garden State Parkway northbound around 3:30 p.m. Monday. It was carrying students from Charter Tech in Somers Point, N.J.
Members of the State Police Commercial Vehicle Inspection Team were at the scene investigating the cause of the crash. State Police say that a preliminary investigation revealed that one of the rear wheels detached but the exact cause of the crash still wasn't clear.
Tom Dugan, the owner of Safety Bus, says it's still unclear what caused the crash. He did however confirm to NBC10 a New Jersey Motor Vehicle report that the bus recently needed re-inspected after an earlier annual inspection showed some problems that needed corrected.
