North Central Texas College softball team bus crashes; 3 dead, more hurt
Three people are dead and more than 15 are injured in Oklahoma after a North Central Texas College bus carrying the softball team collided with a semitruck Friday night.
The collision happened about 9 p.m. on Interstate 35, north of Ardmore, Okla., said Capt. Ronnie Hampton, spokesman for the Oklahoma Highway Patrol.
At least three people were declared dead at the scene, he said. It is unclear whether the three were college students.
It was uncertain how many people were on the bus.
North Central Texas College posted a message on its Facebook page: “We ask for your prayers at this time for our softball team. Their bus has been involved in an accident in Oklahoma.”
