Several Injured After School Bus Overturns on NJ Turnpike
A school bus carrying several children crashed and overturned on the New Jersey Turnpike, but no serious injuries were reported.
State police said no other vehicles were involved in the crash, which occurred around 11:40 a.m. Friday near southbound milepost 29.8 in Cherry Hill. The bus ended up on its side on the shoulder of the roadway.
Roughly 30 people were aboard the bus, including 20 children who had minor injuries. They were being treated at Cooper University Hospital.
Authorities didn't know if the children were part of an organized group, though most were wearing similarly colored shirts. Most of them were standing along the grassy shoulder while they waited for a replacement bus to pick them up.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation.

Comcast Confirms Outages Amid Reported Internet Issues
Comcast is having a nationwide service outage Friday and working to restore service, the company confirmed in a statement amid reports of problems.
“One of Comcast’s large backbone network partners had a fiber cut that we believe is also impacting other providers," according to the statement. "It is currently affecting our business and residential internet, video and voice customers. We apologize and are working to get services restored as soon as possible.”
The internet outage website downdetector.com was showing spikes in reported outages with Comcast, along with problems on other internet service providers like Spectrum and various other websites, including Facebook, Amazon, Google and Netflix. It wasn't immediately clear what was causing the outages.
The Charles County, Maryland, Sheriff's Department said on Twitter that its non-emergency phone lines aren't working because Comcast is its internet service provider and asked residents not to report non-emergencies.
The department tweeted, "please do not call 911 unless you have an emergency. Please wait to report any non emergency calls until the non-emergency lines are fixed. Comcast is working on the issue."
Disclosure: Comcast owns NBCUniversal, the parent company of this station.

Part of Busy Rte. 202 Buckles in Friday's Heat
Even though the worst of the heat wave hasn't hit yet, Friday was still sweltering enough to pop up the pavement.
A part of Route 202 near King of Prussia buckled in the heat late Friday afternoon. Two pieces of pavement pushed up at a seam, forming a small but impassable tent.
The cause was extreme heat conditions, according to a PennDOT spokesman.
The buckle happened on the southbound lanes near Henderson Road. Cars had to creep onto the shoulder to avoid it, and the result was a traffic mess that lasted throughout rush hour.
Crews expected to be on the scene into Friday evening.

What You Can and Can't Do in a Jersey Government Shutdown
New Jersey elected officials have until the final moments of June to agree on a budget that will keep the state government funded.
But if they can't -- and, as of Friday night, just 24 hours before the deadline, no deal had been reached -- then the government could shut down.
But what does that mean to you? Good question. The scope of the shutdown is up to N.J. Gov. Phil Murphy, who would decide what are "essential" government services -- that stay open -- and which are "inessential," and would close.
Unfortunately, the state has some recent experience with shutdowns that could suggest what will happen. The government shut down over budget impasses in 2006 and then again in 2017.
Based on that, here's what you probably can and can't do during a New Jersey government shutdown:
WHAT'S CLOSED
Non-essential state offices, which means up to 35,000 state employees would be furloughed.
All Motor Vehicle Commission agencies and inspection stations will close.
State courts will close. That means a halt to all state cases, including divorces.
The state Department of Health will no longer be able to issue copies of marriage certificates and birth certificates.
State permitting and inspection offices would not operate.
State tax call centers and help centers, as well as the state Division of Pensions and Benefits, would close, though taxes are still due and pensions will still be paid.
As of right now, state parks and state beaches will close. That includes state parks such as Cape May Point State Park, Corson's Inlet State Park near Ocean City, Cheesequake and Island Beach, as well as Liberty State Park in Jersey City. NJ.com posted a full list of the state parks and beaches that would be shut down.
However, there's hopes that the beaches will be spared. Assembly speaker Craig Coughlin said Friday he's going to try to push to keep parks and beaches open, though it's not clear if Murphy will approve.
Racetracks will have to close. Though state law includes a provision that gives them a way to stay open, the state Attorney General said Friday that the racetracks failed to apply for a permit required under law to take advantage of that provision.
WHAT'S OPEN
State police will continue to work. So will state services essential for safety, such as the Division of Child Protection and Permanency and its 24-hour child abuse hotline.
Hospitals run by the state will continue to operate. So will prisons.
New Jersey Transit will continue to run.
Tolls still will be collected at tollbooths on the Turnpike, Atlantic City Expressway and Garden State Parkway.
Casinos, unlike racetracks, will stay open - for now. But they may have to close if the shutdown lasts more than seven days.
The officials charged with regulating casinos, however, would be furloughed.
Public schools and colleges would likely remain open, though some services provided by the State Department of Education would stop.
Unemployment offices will stay open.
You will still be able to buy New Jersey Lottery tickets, probably. The lottery did not shut down in 2017, though it did in 2006.
Road construction will continue, unlike in the 2006 shutdown.
