Two or more buses carrying members of the renowned Grambling State University marching band were involved in a traffic crash in southern Arkansas, injuring at least a half-dozen people.

Dallas County sheriff's dispatcher Rory Tucker said Friday the Grambling buses were northbound Friday afternoon on U.S. 167. Tucker said it wasn't known if any of the injuries were life-threatening.

Arkansas State Police spokesman Bill Sadler said six people were hurt, with none of the injuries believed to be grave. Tucker said a dozen people were taken to a hospital in Fordyce, just south of
where the crash occurred.

Grambling is scheduled to play Arkansas-Pine Bluff at 1 p.m. Saturday in Little Rock.

Fordyce is about 65 miles south of Little Rock.
