Bus Left the Road in Green Bay
Police said the bus was carrying 54 people from Chicago and was headed to Michigan’s Upper Peninsula when it exited northbound Interstate 43 onto North Webster Avenue. Authorities said the vehicle crossed the roadway and went down an embankment after leaving the exit area.
Emergency crews were dispatched just before 3 p.m. local time. Injured passengers were taken to four local hospitals, while others were directed to a reunification center set up at the Salvation Army Kroc Community Center in Green Bay.
Officials said 33 people were hurt in the crash. Two were reported to be in critical condition, and several of those injured were said to be elderly.
Passengers told local media the group was traveling to Island Resort & Casino in Harris, Michigan. The property is a regional gaming destination in the Upper Peninsula, known for drawing visitors from nearby Midwest markets through group travel and bus packages.
Operated by the Hannahville Indian Community, Island Resort & Casino combines gaming, hotel accommodation, dining, and event space in a format designed to attract both overnight guests and organized tour traffic. That makes transport reliability especially relevant, since bus trips remain a common way for older players and out-of-state visitors to reach regional casino properties.
