57 people got injured after a bus rolled over in Central New York. The tour bus which was bound for Niagra falls rann off the New York City Thruway.

According to the New York Police, some 57 people were boarded on the bus and all of them have been taken to hospital for injuries ranging from minor to severe.

The bus landed on its side in the grass around 12:40 p.m. along the highway's westbound side near Weedsport, a village about 25 miles west of Syracuse.

It's unclear why the bus, operated by JTR Transportation, veered off the road, troopers said in a news release. Police photos showed papers and other items strewn around the white bus as it rested on the road shoulder.

The bus was headed to Niagara Falls from Poughkeepsie, in the Hudson Valley. Juan Gil-Urrego told WSYR-TV that his mother, Ximena Urrego, arranged the trip, one of many she has planned to various destinations as affordable excursions for residents. The bus left around 6 a.m. on one of the last trips Urrego had organized for the summer, he said.

A few children were aboard, one possibly just a month old, Gil-Urrego said.

His mother was taken to a hospital with glass in her eye and needing back surgery, her son said, but he was just relieved she had survived.
