A tour bus collided with a truck on the New Jersey Turnpike Wednesday afternoon.

A spokesman for the Turnpike Authority said the crash happened shortly after noon in the southbound lanes in South Brunswick, N.J., between exits 8A and 9.

Of the 53 people were on the bus, more than a dozen were hurt.

The bus driver was taken to the hospital in critical condition, along with two other passengers.

The DC Trails tour bus was headed from New York to Washington when investigators believe the bus hit the back of the trailer in traffic.

Some southbound lanes were closed but have since reopened.
