According to officials, everyone onboard was headed home to after a game. It's believed the players are with the Spartans Post Grad Academy.



"I just remember I was watching my Netflix, and then out of nowhere, I hear a noise and the bus goes crazy. My body went loose. I remember I was on the ground when I opened my eyes. It was pretty scary," said student Jacobi Allen.
