<p>LANCASTER (AP) &#8212; A school bus flipped on its side in a hit-and-run accident involving four vehicles, sending more than a dozen people, including one student ejected from the bus and seriously injured, to the hospital, authorities said.</p><p>The Lancaster Mennonite school bus was taking students to school in East Lampeter Township on Wednesday morning when a sedan trying to pass two tractor-trailers and their escort vehicles hit the rear of one of the escort vehicles, the Lancaster County district attorney&#8217;s office said. The escort vehicle was pushed into the oncoming lane and sideswiped the bus, causing the bus to impact one tractor-trailer&#8217;s load and tip onto its side, prosecutors said.</p><p>The 14 students, the bus driver and another driver were taken to a hospital, where a spokesman said two students with trauma injuries were being transferred to children&#8217;s hospitals and everyone else was treated and released.</p><p>Lancaster Mennonite spokesman Gary Hiller said the bus was carrying 12 high school students, one middle school student and one Locust Grove elementary student.</p><p>&#8220;Our focus has been on the physical and emotional well-being of our students rather than the cause and who is responsible,&#8221; Hiller said. &#8220;We express concern for the two who are still in the hospital.&#8221;</p><p>Authorities issued an alert for the newer-model light-colored sedan and its male driver, saying the vehicle was expected to have front-bumper damage.</p><p>&#8220;There&#8217;s a very good possibility that this vehicle, as it was traveling eastbound prior to the accident scene, may have been passing other vehicles,&#8221; township police Chief John Bowman said.</p><p>Check back to <a href="https://www.timesleader.com" target="_blank">timesleader.com</a> for more details as they become available.</p><style>
