HARFORD COUNTY, MD ? One person died and 23 were injured when the driver of a private bus lost control and hit a guardrail along I-95, officials said.

Shortly after 6 a.m. Sunday, Maryland State Police were called to the scene of the crash at mile marker 77. Emergency calls began coming in around 6 a.m. about the crash of "a party bus" in the northbound lanes of the interstate before the exit for MD-542 near Belcamp, according to the Joppa Magnolia Volunteer Fire Company.
