Thirty passengers ranging in age from 13 to 18 were taken to a hospital after a school bus crash in Idaho on Friday. 

The accident occurred north of Boise and the children on the bus were YMCA campers, according to the New York Post. 

According to KTVB, the bus was coming back from the Horsethief Reservoir when it crashed. 

Eleven kids in total were hurt including seven who were in critical condition. The rest of the kids were not injured but were taken to the hospital out of an abundance of caution.

“Idahoans are praying for the victims of the school bus crash near Banks,” Idaho Gov. Brad Little tweeted. "We are thankful for the first responders and medical personnel assisting in this tragedy."

As of now the cause of the crash is unknown, but it is being investigated.
