( CNN ) -- At least 10 people were injured Thursday when a private bus struck a concrete median on a highway in New Jersey , authorities said . The bus was still stuck on the center divider in Clifton hours after the 2:30 p.m. crash , snarling traffic , said Sgt . William Frank of the Clifton Police Department . There were 28 people -- including the driver -- on the DeCamp bus when a car in the center lane cut off the bus while trying to reach an exit , police said . The two vehicles collided and the bus slammed into the highway divider . Police said at least 10 passengers were taken to area hospitals with minor injuries . The driver of the car was uninjured . The accident comes one week after U.S. transportation officials shut down 52 bus companies in 22 states and the District of Columbia due to unsafe motor coach operations . Although there were a number of inspections of DeCamp Bus Lines , it has not been cited for safety violations , said Marissa Padilla , a spokeswoman for the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration . In November , the National Transportation Safety Board expressed concerns with the thoroughness of investigations by the FMCSA , citing four deadly crashes involving operators who were already on the radar of the oversight agency . FMCSA officials said they re-examined the way they investigate passenger carriers to make their methods even more effective at preventing crashes . As a result of the investigation and inspections , 52 motor coach companies were put out of business and shut down for safety violations such as failure to maintain their buses adequately , inadequate drug and alcohol driver testing and overwork of drivers .
