Thirteen people were killed and at least six critically injured when a tour bus overturned on a highway in New York.
‘The bus flipped over, slid on its side, hit a light pole," the New York Times quoted a city fire department spokesman as saying.
'The light pole stood intact and sheared the whole top of the bus off,’ the spokesman said. ‘It went through the whole bus from front to rear.’
The crash happed as the bus headed south on the New England Thruway, just north of Pelham Bay Park.
The bus was carrying 32 people from the Mohegan Sun Casino in Connecticut and was headed to New York’s Chinatown district.
