Aerial footage showed a coach-style bus on its side amid trees and brush at the bottom of an embankment. Emergency responders could be seen at the crash scene and a medical helicopter was parked on the highway nearby.
It appeared that “a faulty front tire contributed to the accident,” New York Governor Kathy Hochul said at a news conference. An investigation is ongoing.
