Greyhound bus crash kills one woman and injures 17 people in Texas | |
(about 1 hour later) | |
A woman died on Sunday morning after the vehicle she was traveling in stalled on a North Texas interstate after crashing into a barrier and was hit by a Greyhound bus. | |
More than a dozen people on the bus and the other occupant of the vehicle were injured, authorities said. | |
The accident happened at about 5.30am on Interstate 30, Arlington police spokesman Christopher Cook said. | |
Greyhound spokeswoman Lanesha Gipson said there were 40 passengers and a driver aboard the bus, which was headed from Dallas to Amarillo. Sixteen people sustained injuries that were not life-threatening, Cook said. | |
It was not clear if the deceased woman was the driver or passenger of the sport utility vehicle. Cook said a man in the vehicle was taken to the hospital with serious injuries. | |
Cook said that just minutes before the bus hit the vehicle, authorities had taken a call that a vehicle being driven erratically had hit a concrete barrier and become disabled. He said authorities were trying to determine what caused the erratic driving. | |
The interstate was expected to be closed for several hours while police investigated. | |
Gipson said another bus picked up the remaining passengers to take them on to Amarillo. |
