Five of the 44 passengers on board were hospitalized in critical condition, according to state police.
Farmingdale student Anthony Eugenio, 15, was asleep on the bus when he felt a thud and awoke to what he thought was a dream or nightmare. The bus felt as if it was tipping. Then he felt himself tumbling — how many times he can’t recall — as he tried to pull his sweatshirt hood from over his eyes.
Emergency responders gather near the scene of a fatal bus crash, in Wawayanda, N.Y., Thursday, Sept. 21, 2023. A charter bus carrying high school students to a band camp hurtled off a New York highway and down an embankment, officials said. He crawled out of the overturned bus through a window, dazed but only scraped and bruised. Once outside, he found his backpack, which had been thrown from the wreck, and his missing shoe.
A September trip to band camp is an annual tradition at the suburban high school, which has around 1,700 students. Members of the band, color guard and the school’s kick line team attend the Pine Forest Camp, as well as adult chaperones. During some years, more than 300 students have gone on the trip to rehearse and have fun in rural Pennsylvania.
