Dozens Hurt in SoCal Tour Bus Crash

Authorities say 28 people have been injured, eight critically, after a tour bus that left San Diego crashed into a freeway divider in Southern California.

The Riverside County Fire Department says the crash was reported shortly before 5 p.m. Saturday on Interstate 215 in Perris.

Department spokeswoman Cheri Patterson says everyone aboard the bus was injured, including eight people who were taken to the hospital with critical injuries.

Six passengers who were trapped in the back of the bus had to be extricated by rescuers.

Besides the eight who were critically hurt, the other 20 suffered moderate injuries. All were taken to nearby hospitals for treatment.

The bus was returning to Colton from a trip to San Diego when it crashed.

The cause of the crash is under investigation.
