Around three dozen people were hurt this afternoon when a school bus carrying 36 students crashed along the Garden State Parkway near mile marker 34. The bus had just left Charter Tech High School in Somers Point and was heading north on the Parkway when one of the tires blew. The bus went off the right ride of the road and struck a tree around 3:30 pm. All of the students and the driver were taken to area hospitals. They have since been treated and released. The New Jersey State Police Commercial Vehicle Inspection Unit will conduct an inspection of the bus to determine if there were an mechanical malfunctions that led to the crash.
