ROCHESTER -- A tour bus likely had a front tire blowout just before it veered off a highway and overturned, killing two passengers and injuring 35 people, three seriously, state police and a company spokesman said Monday.
The driver of the Niagara Falls-bound bus, which was carrying Indian nationals from Washington, D.C., lost control Sunday and ran off Interstate 390 into woods near Avoca, 55 miles south of Rochester.
Ambulances and helicopters took seven of the most seriously injured victims to a hospital in Rochester, and three were in guarded condition there Monday. State police said they are expected to survive.
The bus driver, 58-year-old John Dinardo Jr., had no history of driving violations or criminal activity and his logbook was in order, New York State Police Superintendent Joseph D'Amico said.
