CLIFTON PARK, N.Y. (AP) — A bus carrying college lacrosse players from Vermont was hit Tuesday by a sports car that spun out of control on a wet highway in upstate New York, sending the bus toppling onto its side, police said. One person in the sports car died.
The victim was a 64-yearold female passenger in the red Porsche that hit the bus, authorities said; the 65-yearold man who had been driving was in critical condition. Four players on the bus were treated for minor injuries at the scene.
The crash happened shortly before noon Tuesday on Interstate 87 in Saratoga County, about 150 miles north of New York City.
The bus was carrying 34 players, three coaches and a driver from Saint Michael’s College, a small Catholic liberal arts school in Colchester, Vt., to a game in Westchester County, just north of New York Cit.
