INDIANAPOLIS — An overturned school bus occupied by three adults and several fifth-grade students has blocked multiple lanes of Interstate 465, according to the Indiana Department of Transportation.
Online police reports show the accident occurred on I-465 at the 45-mile marker near East Washington Street. The call type listed on an online dispatching system was listed as a “personal injury accident with entrapment.”
Indiana State Police Sgt. John Perrine said on social media at 11 a.m. Tuesday that the crash involved a school bus and an ISP police vehicle. He did not indicate what led up to the crash.
As of 11:10 a.m., INDOT says the left lane of I-465 southbound and three right lanes of I-465 northbound were closed.
The department did confirm that the bus was occupied. News 8 later confirmed that the bus belonged to Creston Intermediate & Middle School in the Warren Township school district. At least 25 fifth-graders were on board, along with three adults, the school confirmed.
State police say there were no critical injuries, but did not say how many people were hurt.
Sgt. Perrine also asks any family members or guardians of the involved students not to go to the scene, and school officials will be sending more information shortly.
This is a developing story.
