Warren County Director of Public Affairs Don Lehman additionally said that eight people were taken to Glens Falls Hospital and 11 were treated at the Lake George Fire Department. He said that at least 12 ambulances from eight rescue squads responded to the scene of the crash. Mr. Lehman noted that the American Red Cross will be helping the tour bus passengers find temporary shelter if needed in the crash’s aftermath.
