A tour bus traveling from Washington, D.C., to Niagara Falls crashed in a wooded median in western New York on Sunday afternoon, killing two people and injuring 35, state police said. The crash happened on Interstate 390 at 4:15 p.m., and a preliminary report indicates that a tire blowout might have caused the wreck, New York State Police spokesman Mark O’Donnell said. The bus, owned by Bedore Tours of North Tonawanda near Buffalo, left Washington on Sunday morning and stopped for lunch in Pennsylvania, O’Donnell said.
