On March 12, 2015, a private passenger bus, operated by Excursions Trailways, went off Interstate 65 southbound and wrecked just north of Henryville, Indiana. This bus was transporting students from Indiana Tech to a national bowling tournament in Smyrna, Tennessee. Multiple students and passengers were injured in the bus wreck and treated at local hospitals.
