The tour bus headed for Niagara Falls accidents that injured 28 people

CHILI, NY (WKBW) — Authorities say 28 people were injured after a tour bus overturned on its way to Niagara Falls Thursday.

The crash happened shortly after 7 a.m. in the town of Chili on westbound I-490.

According to the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office, first responders found the bus on its side and had to work to remove many of the victims from the bus.

Authorities say the bus left New York for Niagara Falls around midnight. He had made several stops along the way before crashing.

Deputies say the 28 people on the bus were taken to four local hospitals. One of the victims was seriously injured.

The sheriff’s office says this is a criminal investigation, but at this time they do not believe the accident was a criminal act.
