One person is dead and several others seriously injured after a Megabus traveling from the city crashed in New Jersey Tuesday night, according to authorities.
The bus was headed toward Philadelphia when it overturned near a service area on the New Jersey Turnpike just before 7 p.m, police say.
Approximately 20 passengers were aboard the bus at the time of the incident, police say.
Five people, including the driver, were seriously injured and taken to local hospitals, the busing company said later.
Police say a pickup truck was also involved in the incident, though its role in the crash remains unclear.
A preliminary investigation indicates that the bus went off the road to the right and overturned onto the entrance ramp to the Thomas Edison Service Area, authorities say.
