WINDSOR, Colo.-

At least six people were injured when a school bus carrying members of a Fort Collins high school choir overturned shortly after midnight Monday.

Thirty students and chaperones were aboard when the bus crashed near Windsor, 50 miles north of Denver, at about 12:45 a.m., State Patrol troopers said.

The driver, David M. Hurt, 55, of Fort Collins, had been in the right lane of northbound I-25 when the bus drifted off the left side of the road into the median and struck a safety rail twice before tipping over, Trooper Gilbert Mares said.

Hurt was not injured.

Mares said Leslie Cross, 18, had the worst injuries. Cross underwent surgery and was in fair condition in intensive care at the Medical Center of the Rockies in Loveland with cuts to her head and face, hospital officials said.

The bus was one of two carrying Poudre Valley High School choir members and adults back to Fort Collins after a performance and reception in Denver Sunday.

The injured were taken to the Medical Center of the Rockies in Loveland and the second bus took the others back to Fort Collins.

Charges were pending. Troopers did not suspect that alcohol, drugs or speed were factors in the crash.
