She said: "54 patients were triaged at the scene and it is too soon to confirm if any of these patients have life-threatening injuries. However, 26 patients are being treated as walking wounded."
She added that a number of the workers were taken to Musgrove Park Hospital in Taunton, Bridgwater Minor Injuries Unit and Southmead Hospital in Bridgwater.
"The incident was initially declared as a major incident due to the number of people are resources used," Insp Wells-Cole stated. "This has since been stood down."
Police say the road is likely to be closed for some time as the bus is recovered and debris is cleared from the road.
