Thirty teenagers were traveling on a school bus from the YMCA summer camp program in Treasure Valley, which was involved in an accident near the North Fork Payette River on Highway 55 on Friday. The crash occurred around 3 p.m. on Friday at milepost 84 north of Banks.

As a precaution, all the other teenagers on the bus were transported to local hospitals. The ages of the teenagers range from 13 to 18 years old.
