COLUMBIA COUNTY, Ga. — At least five people sustained injuries Thursday after a tour bus flipped over on a highway in Georgia, CBS affiliate WRDW reports. In total, the bus was carrying 19 passengers.

The crash occurred shortly before 9 a.m. on eastbound I-20, about 15 miles west of Augusta, where the Masters golf tournament is getting underway. According to WRDW, no golfers were on the bus and were already on the course.

Authorities have closed one lane of traffic in both directions. 

Firefighters tell CBS News they are setting up a shelter and will transport passengers who did not sustain injuries there. 

The cause of the crash is being investigated.
