Channel 2 Action News reporter Ashley Hayes was the first reporter at the scene to gather details on what happened. Hayes e-mailed pictures of the overturned bus from her phone and even captured a shot of some students who made it out of the bus safely.
A representative for the Henry County Fire Department said there are 20 "walking wounded." Seven people suffered serious injuries and were taken to area hospitals.
Roads were wet Saturday, but officials haven't determined whether it played a role in the accident.
“This morning’s rain has made for wet roads all across north Georgia. With more showers in the forecast, don’t expect them to dry out much today," said Severe Weather Team 2 meteorologist Brad Nitz.
