RUNNING SPRINGS, Calif. (AP) \u2014 Twenty people were hospitalized, three with major injuries, after a bus carrying teens returning from a camp overturned on a winding mountain road in Southern California, authorities said Monday. <\/p>\n
The bus with 36 people aboard crashed shortly before 9 p.m. Sunday at a curve on State Route 330 near Running Springs, about 70 miles (113 kilometers) northeast of Los Angeles, according to the San Bernardino County Fire Department. <\/p>\n
First responders arrived to find the bus on its side, with passengers escaping through a roof hatch, said a fire department statement. <\/p>\n
\u201cA total of 26 patients, including three with major injuries, were treated. Of those, 20 were transported to area hospitals, all by ground ambulances,\u201d the statement said. <\/p>\n
Fire department photos showed victims seated on the ground in a triage area, some wearing neck braces. <\/p>\n
The bus, carrying adults and teens, was traveling downhill back to Orange County from a camp near the tiny community of Angelus Oaks in the San Bernardino Mountains, officials said. <\/p>\n
There was no fire or hazardous material exposure, the fire department said. <\/p>\n
State Route 330 is a two-line highway where it curves through forest areas near Running Springs at an elevation of about 6,100 feet (1,860 meters). <\/p>\n
The route was closed in both directions during the investigation, which was led by the California Highway Patrol.<\/p>\n
