Bus crash in Virginia kills four, injures dozens

From Yahoo News:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Four people were killed and dozens injured in an early morning bus crash on Tuesday on Interstate 95 in Virginia’s Caroline County, the Virginia State Police said.

Police are attributing the crash to driver fatigue and charges are pending, a statement from the police said. The driver suffered minor injuries and was treated on the scene.

Dozens of passengers of the Sky Express Bus were injured, with those hurt sent to hospitals in nearby Fredericksburg, Richmond and Hopewell for treatment. Injuries ranged from minor to life-threatening, the police said.

“The bus ran off of the right side of the road and overturned — coming to rest upside down on its roof,” according to police statement.

The bus was a commercial tour bus headed to New York City’s Chinatown, authorities said. It left Greensboro, North Carolina, at 10:30 p.m. Police were called to the scene at 4:55 a.m.
