No life-threatening injuries have been reported but several people were taken to area hospitals.

After being closed for more than an hour, one westbound lane of the highway has reopened, but traffic is moving slowly, according to the Thruway alert system. Eastbound traffic between exits 41 and 40 is also slow.

In the minutes after the crash, the state police said, traffic was being diverted off exit 40 at Weedsport so emergency crews could get to the bus and transport patients who needed to go hospitals.
