A tour bus returning to New York City from Niagara Falls crashed and rolled in western New York state Friday afternoon<\/a>, resulting in \u201cmultiple fatalities\u201d and closing a major thoroughfare, authorities said.<\/p>\n

The bus was traveling east on Interstate 90 near Pembroke, which is about halfway between Buffalo and Rochester, when it crashed about 12:30 p.m., officials said.<\/p>\n

“For unknown reasons, the vehicle lost control, went into the median, overcorrected and ended up in the ditch,” New York State Trooper James O\u2019Callaghan told reporters.<\/p>\n

“And at this time, we have multiple fatalities, multiple entrapments and multiple injuries.” <\/p>\n

The bus ended up on its side on the south shoulder of I-90 with “significant damage,” O\u2019Callaghan said. <\/p>\n

“Obviously, this bus was going full speed,” he said. “It did not hit any other vehicle. It basically lost control.”<\/p>\n

The chartered bus headed to New York City had 52 people on board, including the driver, according to a state police statement. <\/strong><\/p>\n

With the investigation just getting underway, it was difficult to immediately determine what caused the bus to lose control.<\/p>\n

“This is an ongoing incident,” O\u2019Callaghan said. “We don’t have all the answers. “<\/p>\n

There are children among the victims.<\/p>\n

Translators were dispatched to the scene to help first responders communicate with victims.<\/p>\n

The driver survived and is being interviewed by investigators.<\/p>\n

“I would say almost every person on this collision has some sort of cut, bruise or abrasion as an injury,” O\u2019Callaghan said.<\/p>\n
