FARMINGDALE, N.Y. (AP) — The school superintendent in Farmingdale, New York, says all the high school students who were injured in a bus crash on the way to a band camp are expected to recover. Superintendent Paul Defendini gave the update in a statement Saturday, according to Newsday. The bus was carrying 40 students from Farmingdale High School on Long Island and four adults when it veered off Interstate 84 and rolled over Thursday in the town of Wawayanda, about 45 miles (72 kilometers) northwest of New York City. Two adults died and other passengers were seriously injured. It wasn’t immediately clear Sunday how many passengers remained hospitalized.
