Five people died and 21 injured passengers were treated across multiple hospitals after a tour bus rolled over on the New York State Thruway, police said.
- A tour bus operated by M&Y Tour Inc. rolled over near Exit 48A on the New York State Thruway on August 22, killing five and injuring dozens.
- The crash happened when the bus traveling east on the Thruway unexpectedly lost control and then overcorrected, although authorities have dismissed mechanical issues and operator impairment as causes.
- The 54 occupants ranged from age 1 to 74 and came from several countries, while hospitals treated 49 passengers with most patients now discharged and stable.
- As of August 25, Erie County Medical Center had 9 stable inpatients and one stable observation patient, while one child remains in serious condition at Oishei Children’s Hospital.
- The crash prompted a large regional blood donation response and highlighted challenges in emergency response amid fewer first responders and questions about seatbelt law enforcement.
