CAMP BLANDING, Fla. — At least 19 members of the Florida Army National Guard were injured when the bus they were riding in overturned in north Florida.
A National Guard spokesman says 30 soldiers from the 690th Military Police Company, based in Crystal River, were on the bus when it crashed Tuesday afternoon. One soldier was taken by helicopter to a Gainesville hospital, while others were treated at the scene or at local hospitals.
A preliminary report by military officials says four buses were moving from one area of Camp Blanding to another when the soldier driving the second bus swerved to avoid a collision with the lead bus and overturned.
The Florida Highway Patrol is investigating the crash and will determine whether charges should be filed.
