CLIFTON PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Police say a bus carrying a college lacrosse team from Vermont has crashed on a highway in upstate New York.

State transportation officials say the accident happened just before noon Tuesday on Interstate 87 in Saratoga County, about 150 miles north of New York City. Police would not release information about injuries.

A trooper says the bus had 40 on board and was carrying men from St. Michael’s College on their way to a game on Long Island when a car spun out on the wet highway and hit the bus. The bus landed on its side off the road.

Troopers say southbound lanes of the highway are closed for a stretch.

Players in purple jackets and white shorts are standing outside along wooded edge of highway.
