Officials say 13 people died when a tour bus flipped onto its side and skidded into a sign post on Interstate 95 south in the Bronx borough of New York early on Saturday morning.
The World Wide Tour bus skidded on its side into a sign pole on the southbound side of Interstate 95 at Exit 14 for the Hutchinson Parkway. The sign post sheared off the top of the bus along the window line, nearly two-thirds the length of the vehicle.
The spokesman says the bus was carrying 31 to 33 passengers. He says in addition to the fatalities, six passengers were critically injured and four have been transported to hospitals.
The spokesman says 11 others sustained minor injuries.
