An Abilene Christian University football bus was involved in an accident shortly before midnight Saturday, following its game against Texas Tech in Lubbock. A university statement says there were four minor injuries on the bus including a student-athlete, two coaches and the bus driver. All were taken to a local hospital.

The accident involved at least one other vehicle and the ACU statement says it happened at the intersection of Marsha Sharp freeway frontage road and University Avenue at approximately 11:45pm.

The university statement said in part, "We (ACU) are grateful to Texas Tech Director of Athletics Kirby Hocutt, their team physician, Dr. Michael Phy, and all of the first responders for their assistance and care."

Edit: Changed title, as the original news story apparently made mention of alcohol being involved. That is no longer the case.
