Three people are dead and several more are critically injured after a bus returning from a church summer camp overturned in Indianapolis, officials said.
Thirty-seven passengers were on the bus when it overturned, entrapping five people, the Indianapolis Fire Department said on its Twitter feed. A large diesel spill resulted and HazMat crews responded to the scene, they said.
Nine teenage patients were sent to Indiana University Methodist Hospital — one of them in critical condition, according to the hospital. Ten patients, including one toddler, are said to be in stable condition at Riley Hospital for Children and Indiana University Health. Another 10 patients were taken to Community North Hospital, according to spokeswoman Courtney Jones. Three injured passengers were taken to St. Vincent Pharma Center in Indianapolis, according to spokesman Johnny Smith.

The passengers were reported to be from the Colonial Hills Baptist Church, which is in Indianapolis, according to its website.
"Please be in prayer for our church family as we look to the Lord for grace during the teen bus accident today," the church said in a statement posted on Facebook. "Details will be released at a later time, but prayers are our greatest need right now."
Three injured passengers were taken to St. Vincent Pharma Center in Indianapolis, spokesman Johnny Smith confirmed to NBC News.
All patients have been transported from the scene, the Indianapolis Fire Department said on its Twitter feed.
