Responding officers found the bus on the side of the road with front-end damage and numerous occupants inside suffering from various injuries.

The tour bus was operated by Monsey Tours of Brooklyn, New York and was apparently heading to Greenwood Lake, New York.

Reports indicate that 56 students were on the bus for a school trip from a school in Brooklyn.

The bus hit a tree, causing one of the branches to break and enter the bus.

In total, five girls were injured. Three were transported to Chilton Medical Center with minor injuries, officials said.

Two were seriously injured, police confirmed.

One was flown to St. Joseph's University Medical Center in Paterson and a second to Hackensack University Hospital in Hackensack.
