SANTA ANA, Calif. — A bus carrying teens and young adults returning from a church camp in the Southern California mountains lost control and tipped onto its side Sunday night while on the way down a winding mountain road, sending 20 people to the hospital, authorities said.

The bus began to shake and swerve then rocked side to side before toppling over, said Cyntia Ramirez, a 21-year-old community college student who had been on board. She recalled the accident Monday while picking up her stray luggage from the Orange County church that organized the weekend retreat at a camp in the San Bernardino Mountains. A youth leader from the trip pulled her out of a hatch on the roof, she said.
