    A tour bus carrying a college's women's lacrosse team to a game went off the Pennsylvania Turnpike on Saturday and crashed into a tree, killing the driver and one passenger.

A 20-year-old Perrysburg high school grad was among the players on a team bus that crashed on the Pennsylvania Turnpike, killing the driver and a pregnant coach.

Pennsylvania authorities say that around 9 a.m. Saturday morning, the bus went off the Turnpike, careened 70 yards through a field and hit a tree.

The 61-year-old driver, a coach who was 6-months-pregnant and the coach's unborn child were all killed.

The bus was carrying 23 people including 2011 Perrysburg High School graduate Siiri Mason. Siiri  plays attack for Seton Hill University's Women's Lacrosse team. This is her second year playing for the Division 2 team.

She was treated for a bruised hand and released after the accident. She returned to the Seton Hill Campus in Greensburg, Pennsylvania where grief counselors are waiting. Her family is traveling to Pennsylvania to see her.

Siiri's former high school coach Patrice Brock says news of the crash shocked her entire team. "My heart stopped. I know it affected our tem when they heard, especially since her sister plays for us currently. But we quickly learned that she was not one of the ones critically injured. That was such a great relief."

Investigators are still looking into the cause of the accident.
