Provided by Written on November 06, 2009

FORDYCE, Ark.(AP) — A dozen students and a bus driver are being
treated for injuries after three buses carrying members of the
renowned Grambling State University marching band were involved
in a traffic crash in southern Arkansas.

Arkansas State Police spokesman Bill Sadler says none of the
injuries appear to be life-threatening.

Sadler says four buses from the school in north Louisiana were
near Fordyce, Ark., on Friday when the second bus slowed. The
two trailing buses each hit the bus ahead.

In all, 126 students were aboard. The injured were taken to a
Fordyce hospital.

Grambling is scheduled to play Arkansas-Pine Bluff at 1 p.m.
Saturday in Little Rock.

Fordyce is about 65 miles south of Little Rock.
