Four people suffered minor injuries in the crash and were taken to the hospital "out of abundance of caution,” the Coast Guard said. The bus was transporting 13 Coast Guard recruits at the time.
The remaining nine recruits were placed on another bus and taken to the base to begin boot camp, officials said. The four who were treated were released from the hospital and arrived at the training center.
All southbound lanes on the AC Expressway were closed until the crash could be cleared.
