MINCO, Okla. (AP) — A school bus transporting the softball team crashed in Oklahoma, ejecting some passengers, and injuring eight individuals, as reported by the state highway patrol.

The crash happened Monday night on U.S. Highway 152 near Minco in Grady County, about 40 miles (64 kilometers) southwest of Oklahoma City.

Three adults and five juveniles were hurt and were taken to hospitals, Lt. Mark Southall of the Oklahoma Highway Patrol said in a statement.

Southall mentioned that the scene was cleared around midnight, and investigations into the crash are ongoing. The patrol is collaborating with the National Transportation Safety Board, he stated.

School was closed Tuesday, Minco Public Schools Superintendent Kevin Sims posted online.

“Please keep these student-athletes, coaches and their families in your prayers,” he said.

U.S. Sen. James Lankford of Oklahoma shared online that he and his wife, Cindy, “join all of Oklahoma in praying for our neighbors in Minco tonight.”

The Minco First Baptist Church, located in the town of approximately 1,500 residents, posted online that the church sanctuary was available “if you would like to come and pray.”

According to school athletic schedules, the softball team was set to play at 6 p.m. on Monday at the Riverside Indian School in Anadarko, roughly 35 miles (56 kilometers) southwest of Minco.
