One person is dead and several others are injured following a tour bus crash in upstate New York.
The wreck happened Friday, Jan. 5, on the I-87 Northway in Warren County, between Warrensburg and Lake George.
State Police said a tour bus operated by RM Transnational LTD was traveling from Montreal, Canada when it rolled over in the southbound lanes near exit 23 at around 12:50 p.m.
Of the 23 people onboard, one person was killed, one passenger suffered serious injuries, and ten passengers were treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
The victims' names, ages, and hometowns were not released.
Troopers did not speculate on a possible cause of the crash.
I-87 southbound remained closed between exits 23 and 22 Friday night. It was unclear when the roadway was expected to reopen.
State Police are asking anyone who witnessed the crash, or saw the bus before the wreck, to contact the agency at 518-783-3211.
Investigators are also asking the public to check for any dashcam videos that may have recorded the incident.
“I join the people of New York in praying for the well-being of all involved in this horrific incident and am deeply grateful for the heroic efforts of our first responders,” Gov. Kathy Hochul said in a statement.
