Police are investigating a tour bus crash in Westchester County that sent nearly two dozen people to the hospital Wednesday.

New York State Police say the bus was traveling from Foxwoods Resort Casino in Connecticut to Queens just before 6:30 a.m. when the driver lost control on I-95.

After hitting a barrier, the bus crossed over three lanes and slid along an outer wall before stopping.

Police say all 23 passengers on board and the driver were hurt, but none of the injuries were serious.

No charges were filed.

The accident comes in the wake of last year's tour bus crash in the Bronx that killed 15 people.

The incident prompted federal officials to recently shutter more than two dozen discount bus chains in the region for safety violations.
