A bus carrying a professional hockey team from Columbus flipped on an exit ramp on the way to a game in Peoria, Illinois Thursday.

The charter bus was carrying the Columbus Cottonmouths of the Southern Professional Hockey League.

The team released a statement saying, "All players have been accounted for and have been transported to a local hospital to determine the extent of the injuries. We can confirm that there seem to be no life-threatening injuries to players, staff or personnel."

The cause of the accident has not been determined.

The Cottonmouths were set to play the Peoria Rivermen on Friday and Saturday but it has not been determined if those games will take place.

The Cottonmouths began play in 1996 and play their home games in the Columbus Civic Center.
