Two people are dead, thirty two people are injured, and eight people are in critical condition after a bus slid on its side, bounced, and crashed into a median.
The actual cause of the crash was not yet known. However, reports say speed and icy conditions were a major factor for the bus driver losing control. He was said to have been traveling between 65 and 70 mph.
Two of the passengers were transported to a hospital by helicopters, either six or eight by where taken by ground ambulance. The rest, which reports called "walking wounded," were taken to a Community Medical Center.
The speed limit in the area is 75 mph, but the law requires motorists to travel at a speed that is safe for the conditions, and reports said authorities were investigating whether the bus was going too fast.
