HERMANN, Mo. — At least 32 people were injured Saturday after a commercial bus crashed into a ditch about 70 miles west of St. Louis, Missouri, according to authorities.
The bus was traveling along Missouri Highway 100 west of Hermann when the driver veered off the road to the right, Missouri State Highway Patrol said in a crash report. The driver then overcorrected and the bus careened off the road to the left, according to investigators.
None of the crash victims have been publicly identified, including the driver. They range in age from 27 to 68; the driver was a 45-year-old man from Hermann, according to the crash report.
Four people, including the driver, suffered serious injuries, MSHP said. One person was airlifted to a hospital from the crash scene, according to Hermann’s volunteer fire department.
Eleven crash victims suffered moderate injuries, and 17 others suffered minor injuries, according to MSHP. A 60-year-old woman was taken to a nearby hospital but listed with no injuries in the crash report.
“All patients had been extricated and transported within 40 minutes of units arriving on scene,” Hermann’s fire department wrote in a Facebook post. “We would like to thank our surrounding agencies for their help in providing exceptional care.”
The closed section of Highway 100 reopened about three hours after it was shut down for the accident.
