Mountain Bus Accident Kills 9, Injures 20

Nine people were killed and 20 injured after a tour bus carrying people on a ski trip left a highway and rolled over Sunday night in southeastern Utah, a highway patrol spokesman said.

At least 50 people were on the Arrow Stage Lines bus when it crashed on Highway 163, about five miles north of Mexican Hat, at 7:30 p.m., said Utah Highway Patrol Trooper Cameron Roden. Troopers reported the road was wet but not icy, he said.

The bus was traveling south from Telluride, Colorado, to Phoenix, Arizona, when it left the right side of the highway and rolled over. Rescue crews took the 20 injured people to hospitals in Utah, Colorado and Arizona, he said.

The Salt Lake Tribune reported that ambulances from Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico responded to the accident, and a helicopter from Colorado could not fly to the crash site because of winter storms.

Four of the people killed were male, two were female and the gender of one was unknown, Roden said. Most of the passengers were returning home from a weekend ski trip to Telluride, he said.
