- NEW: Bus veered off road, hit guard rail, traveled 70 yards, struck tree
- NEW: Second person is killed, authorities say
- Bus was carrying the Seton Hill University women's lacrosse team

(CNN) -- A bus carrying 23 people, who were members of or associated with the Seton Hill University women's lacrosse team, crashed Saturday morning in southern Pennsylvania, killing at least two people, authorities said.
One person died at the scene and the other at a hospital, said Megan Silverstrim, spokeswoman for Cumberland County public safety.
Authorities declined to release the genders of the two who were killed.
Everyone else is being treated at a nearby hospital for minor to major injuries, Silverstrim said.
The bus was traveling eastbound on the Pennsylvania Turnpike near Carlisle when the vehicle veered off the road, struck a guard rail, traveled 70 yards through grass and then struck a tree, said Trooper Rob Hicks, a spokesman for state police.
Silverstrim wasn't sure where the bus was headed, but the lacrosse team had a 1 p.m. match against Millersville University in Millersville, Pennsylvania, according to both teams' schedules.
Seton Hill is a Catholic university in Greensburg, Pennsylvania, outside Pittsburgh. It was founded by the Sisters of Charity in 1885.
In an unrelated incident last month, a bus carrying the University of Maine women's basketball team crashed on a highway near Boston, but no one was killed, CNN affiliate WCVB reported. The bus crossed the median and traveled into the woods next to the highway, authorities told WCVB.
