00:00At least five people were killed and dozens injured after a tour bus veered out of control and rolled over on a New York highway on Friday.
00:10Authorities say the bus, carrying more than 50 passengers, crashed on Interstate 90, part of the New York State Thruway in Pembroke, about 30 miles east of Buffalo.
00:20The vehicle was traveling from Niagara Falls to New York City when the accident occurred.
00:25Several passengers were trapped in the wreckage, while others were thrown from the bus as it flipped and landed on its side in a roadside ditch.
00:33Tragically, multiple people were rejected from the bus with five people deceased at the scene.
00:38The cause of the collision is still under investigation.
00:42However, mechanical failure as well as operator impairment have been ruled out at this time.
00:49The operator has been cooperative, and with the investigation still underway, no charges have been filed at this point.
00:57I do not have the exact ages, however, no children passed away.
01:02Yes, initially it was believed that a child had passed away, but further investigation has deemed that to be false.
01:10Authorities say the driver, who survived, lost control at full speed, causing the bus to veer into the median and overturn.
01:18No other vehicles were involved, and the investigation is still ongoing.
