5 dead, 60 hospitalized in Pennsylvania Turnpike crash

(AP) Officials in Pennsylvania say five people have been killed and dozens hospitalized in an early morning crash on the Pennsylvania Turnpike.

State police report around 60 were injured with the victims ranging from 7 to 67 years old. Their conditions are not considered life threatening.

State Police spokesman Stephen Limani described the crash as a “chain-reaction” involving a bus, three tractor-trailers and a passenger car. UPS says two of its drivers were killed in the crash. The bus was traveling from Rockaway, New Jersey, to Cincinnati, Ohio. The National Transportation Safety Board says it dispatched a team to investigate.
