Three members of the Murray State Racers softball team were taken to a hospital Wednesday night after the team bus crashed en route to the team's first-ever NCAA Tournament regional appearance in Alabama, the university announced.
The Racers athletics page said in a tweet Wednesday that the school’s bus traveling to Tuscaloosa was involved in a crash in which three people suffered "non-life-threatening injuries."
It was not immediately clear if those injured were players, but the university said all three were taken to a hospital for further testing.
