Bus carrying U of Washington band rolls onto side on highway

A bus carrying members of the Washington marching band rolled over on its way from Seattle to Spokane in advance of Friday's Apple Cup against Washington State, according to John Bryant of the Washington State Patrol.

There were no serious injuries, according to Bryant, but between 20-25 students were taken to local hospitals. There were 56 people on the bus, which ended up on its side on an icy highway just outside of the city of George, about 130 miles west of Spokane.

It is unclear exactly what happened for the bus to lose control, but icy road conditions and fog played a factor, Bryant said.
