A tour bus operated by a NJ company "rolled over an embankment" in New Hampshire last night. The bus, which was going from Quebec to Boston, had around 25 passengers, and 17 were hurt. A NH State Police lieutenant said, "The vehicle went off the left side of the roadway. Unknown reason -- we're looking at that at this time. At that point it rolled over on to its side."
Road conditions were slippery and foggy, but the state police are still investigating.
This comes after two fatal bus accidents—one in the Bronx that killed 15 on March 12 and one in NJ that killed two on March 14—and calls from lawmakers for a bus and bus driver crackdown over concerns that bus drivers are working too long and companies are cutting corners to offer cheap prices.
