Six people aboard an Air Force Reserve bus were hurt when a semi collided with the bus on Interstate 94 in central Minnesota.
Master Sgt. Eric Amidon with the 934th Airlift Wing said the bus was on its way to a training site near Fargo, N.D., when the semi apparently rear-ended the bus near Monticello around noon Thursday.
Six of the 13 people aboard the bus were hurt. Their conditions are not known, but the Minnesota State Patrol says most of the injuries don't appear to be life-threatening.
Westbound I-94 is closed and there are backups in both directions, the patrol reported in another tweet, adding that travelers should avoid the area and seek alternative routes.
The patrol is investigating.
