According to a statement from Saint Gregory's University officials, the accident occurred Saturday afternoon as the bus was headed to Rogers State University in Claremore for a game.
Oklahoma Highway Patrol Captain Chris West says the bus was traveling on U.S. Highway 177 when it hit the back of the truck.

The game was canceled.
