Miraculously, there were no serious injuries or fatalities. However, the crash was grim reminder of another New Jersey school bus crash that left a young student and beloved middle school teacher dead.
Thirty-six adults and children were taken to a hospital in Edison to be treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
“Obviously people are shaken up, you had children involved,” Baraka said after traveling to the hospital Saturday night. “People are concerned about the well-being of their children, they want to go home and not be at a hospital all night."
Multiple lanes of the busy New Jersey Turnpike were closed for about an hour while authorities cleared the roadway.
