The school bus tipped over and 16 people were sent to Lancaster General Hospital.
One six year old boy is struggling for his life after being trapped underneath the bus, reports ABC News.
The 15 other people injured in the crash have been released from the hospital.
The incident occurred Wednesday morning in East Lampeter Township.
The Lancaster Mennonite School posted a message on Facebook today saying in part, “School is operating normally, although prayer and support will be infused throughout the day. School counselors are available, as always, to help in times of crisis.”
The Lancaster District Attorney’s Office released a video of the car driven by the unknown driver (an image of the car is on the left). The East Lampeter Police Department has received several tips since the video’s release.
