5 Dead in New York Tour Bus Crash; Indian, Chinese Tourists Among 54 on Board

A tragic bus crash in upstate New York on Friday claimed the lives of at least five people, with Indian, Chinese, and Filipino tourists among the 54 passengers on board.


The accident occurred on the New York State Thruway near Pembroke, about 40 kilometers (25 miles) east of Buffalo, as the tour group was returning to New York City after visiting Niagara Falls.

According to New York State Police, the crash was caused by the driver becoming distracted. “It’s believed the operator became distracted, lost control, over-corrected, and ended up… over there,” said Major Andre Ray, the state police commander.

The tour bus rolled over on the highway, prompting a major emergency response. While five fatalities were confirmed, no other passengers were in life-threatening condition, authorities said. The victims included tourists of Indian, Chinese, and Filipino origin.

The crash site saw a significant rescue effort, with eight helicopters and numerous first responders deployed. Translators were also sent to assist in communication with injured passengers and others on the scene. Mercy Flight, an air ambulance nonprofit, played a key role in the operation.

Officials ruled out mechanical failure, driver intoxication, or impairment as contributing factors. “We believe we have a good idea of what happened, but we are thoroughly vetting all the details,” a police spokesperson said. The driver, who survived the crash, is cooperating with the investigation.

New York Governor Kathy Hochul said her office is working closely with local authorities and state police to coordinate rescue and relief efforts. A call for blood donations was issued by the Connect Life network to aid victims of the crash.

“I’m heartbroken for all those we’ve lost and all those injured,” said U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer. “Thank you to our brave first responders on the scene.”

The identities of the victims have not yet been made public.
