3 People Killed, 24 Injured After Multi-Vehicle Crash Involving Tour Bus In New Mexico

Three people were killed and 24 others were injured in a crash involving a tour bus and three other vehicles on Interstate 25 in New Mexico, authorities said Sunday. The Sandoval County Sheriff’s Office said that the incident began at around 2 a.m. when a car struck a pickup truck from behind just north of Bernalillo, about 18 miles north of Albuquerque. According to spokesman Lt. Keith Elder, the tour bus driver took evasive action to avoid hitting the disabled car and its driver, who was ejected. But the bus driver lost control and the bus rolled onto its right side in the northbound lane, trapping injured passengers inside. It was then sideswiped by a semitruck.
