1 Killed, 26 Injured In Tour Bus Collision In Mojave Desert

One person was killed and 26 others were injured Monday when a charter bus collided with two vehicles on State Route 58 in the Mojave Desert, authorities said. The 2007 Chevrolet Starcraft bus from A&F Tours in Arcadia was traveling east on the highway just after 12 p.m. when “for reasons unknown” it moved into the westbound lanes and crashed head-on into a Subaru Outback and a Chevy Spark, said Officer Brian Benson, a spokesman for the California Highway Patrol in Barstow. The bus, which was carrying 26 people, overturned and landed upright, he said. The driver of the white Subaru suffered major injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene, he said.
