11 students hurt in crash

CHENOWETH, Ohio (AP) -- Bodies and luggage went flying as a tour bus carrying college students on spring break swerved onto a freeway median in central Ohio and abruptly stopped early Saturday, authorities said.
Eleven students were released after treatment at Columbus hospitals, said Lt. Shawn Davis of the Ohio State Highway Patrol.
The Breakaway Tours bus was carrying 41 Canadian college students and a chaperone back from a trip to Panama City, Fla. The driver told troopers a large object either fell or was kicked up by another vehicle, Davis said. The driver swerved to avoid it, and the bus landed in the grassy median of Interstate 71 in Madison County, about 25 miles southwest of Columbus. The bus did not overturn.
"The beach was good. The bus ride, not so good," passenger Alison Mancini said.
