While returning from a retreat in New York on Sunday, one of three Lives Changed By Christ buses was traveling south on Interstate 81 when it went off exit ramp 112 toward Hegins.

The bus crossed over Route 25 and went into the woods in Frailey Township, just after  2:30 p.m.

As of Monday morning, 32 people were injured, with 6 people in critical condition.

Approximately 20 Emergency crews were called, sending over 100 first responders to the scene.

The road was closed for hours as crews worked and investigators tried to reconstruct the accident.

The LCBC Church released a statement saying the bus was carrying high school freshman and sophomore girls, on their way home from a fall retreat at the Manheim campus.

"Please join us in praying for our Manheim students, parents, and leaders, asking for God's care and protection of all involved," the church said. "Updates will be provided as more information is received."
