A school bus carrying nearly three dozen middle schoolers blew a tire and flipped on a South Carolina highway Thursday while traveling back from a field trip outside Charlotte, North Carolina.

Authorities confirmed the crash, which happened at about 2 p.m. on the southbound side of Interstate 77 in Chester County near exit 55, involved a Lexington County School District 2 school bus carrying students and adults from Pine Ridge Middle School, according to the Chester County Sheriff’s Office.

A tire blew on one of three buses traveling back from the field trip, causing it to crash and injuring passengers. The bus had three adults and around 35 students on board, according to officials, and there were a total of 18 patients, FOX 57 reported.
