The CHP said just after 6 a.m. Tuesday morning a tour bus rolled over two times before coming to rest in the center divider.

According to ABC23 in Bakersfield, the bus was traveling northbound on I-5 in the slow lane, when a big rig traveling about 75 MPH rear-ended them, sending the bus rolling across the freeway.

The bus was in route to Sonoma County. Three bands from Epic Proportions Tour 2012 were inside the bus on their way to perform at Sonoma State University.

Three people were transported to the hospital with injuries ranging from a minor head injury to a broken leg.

Some of the people on the bus included singer Thomas King, Gabe Kubanda who has starred on a VH1 reality show, and members of the band Lost in Atlantis.

Some of the band's equipment was damaged in the wreck. The bands still plan to play at Sonoma State Tuesday night if they can barrow some equipment.
