Sept 21 (Reuters) - A bus carrying members of a high school band rolled over and crashed on a highway in New York state on Thursday, killing at least one person and injuring numerous others. The person killed was an adult, according to NBC's New York affiliate, citing an unnamed source familiar with the situation. The New York State Police said in a posting on social media that the highway was closed at that point. The bus was carrying members of a high school band from Farmingdale, New York, in Nassau County on a trip to a band camp in Greeley, Pennsylvania, according to a statement from the Farmingdale School District posted by local media. Footage from the scene showed the bus had a logo for Regency Buses, a regional bus line that serves New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.
