According to officials, the bus was returning from the Manheim campus from a student ministry fall retreat when it veered off the Interstate exit ramp.
The bus crashed into an embankment, and then stopped in a forest area of Route 25 in Schuylkill County.
Officials stated that all 32 passengers were transported to the hospital.
Tremont’s fire chief spoke out about the difficulty of getting all the injured people off the bus.
“When something like this happens, it’s people shaking all around the bus. It takes some time to get in and get people out of the situation,” Chief Brian Eisenacher told Fox32.
“The guys on the bus did a great job. We took out what we had to take out. Everybody was out and on their way to the hospital pretty quickly.”
According to the fire chief, around 100 emergency personnel were involved in the rescue operation.
Ambulance crews and firefighters from Northumberland, Schuylkill, Lebanon and Dauphin Counties were all called in to help.
