A Megabus headed for Atlanta crashed Saturday morning on Interstate 65 in southern Indiana, authorities said, and some injuries were reported.

The bus, operated by Megabus and carrying about 70 passengers, left the road about 5:30 a.m. Saturday on Interstate 65 in Seymour, Indiana State Police Trooper Clifton Elston said.

Twenty-seven people from the bus were treated for minor injuries at Schneck Medical Center in Seymour, hospital spokeswoman Stephanie Furlow said. Jackson County Emergency Medical Services Supervisor Roger Wheeler told The Tribune of Seymour a pregnant woman with a cut to her head was taken to an Indianapolis hospital.

Wintry weather conditions, including snow flurries and wind, as well as speed may have contributed to the crash, state police said, noting several other accidents were reported in the area, about 60 miles southeast of Indianapolis. The investigation is continuing.

The double-decker bus was traveling from Chicago to Atlanta, according to Sean Hughes, Megabus North America Associate Director of Corporate Affairs.

Hughes said the bus had stopped in Indianapolis and had planned to also stop in Louisville, Kentucky, and Nashville and Chattanooga, Tennessee.

Hughes said Megabus was "assisting the authorities with their investigation" into the accident.
