A tourist bus overturns in the US, killing one person
A tourist bus travelling from Montreal to New York was involved in a terrible accident that killed at least one person and injured more than two dozen passengers. The vehicle overturned on the highway.
According to ABC News, citing officials, the accident occurred on Route 87 between Lake George and Warrensburg in upstate New York. Air services were involved in the rescue.
As of now, there are 22 victims with injuries of varying severity and one death. It is worth noting that there were only 23 people in the cabin, including the driver, so everyone was injured.
