Authorities say more than a dozen people have been hospitalized in Virginia after a commercial bus hit an overturned tractor trailer on Interstate 64 Sunday morning.

Virginia State Police said the Afton Mountain crash happened around 4 a.m. in the eastbound lanes of I-64 at the 100 mile marker, located in Nelson County near the Augusta County line.

The tractor-trailer was traveling east on I-64 when the driver lost control and the truck overturned across the roadway.

The chartered bus, which was also traveling eastbound, could not avoid the the tractor-trailer. The crash split the trailer in half.

The bus went off the right side of the highway and stopped against a guardrail.
