Police in New York have confirmed the presence of several Canadians among those injured in a tour bus crash south of Syracuse, N.Y. on Thursday morning. A total of twenty-seven passengers were injuries after a Pine Hill Trailways tour bus carrying 52 passengers, heading from Toronto to New York City, collided with a car and a tractor-trailer in the southbound lanes of I-81 at around 2:30 a.m.
According to the investigators from the Onondaga County Sheriffs Office, a single car was involved in the crash with a guardrail causing it to be disabled in the passing lane of the highway prior to the three-vehicle collision. Thereafter, a tractor-trailer driver pulled over in order to warn other motorists of the potential hazard. Regardless of that, a tour bus soon hit the car and flipped it on its roof before striking the tractor-trailer, which was parked on the shoulder of the road.
Assistant fire chief with the Nedrow Volunteer Fire Department and a first responder at the scene, Richard Nemier, explained that “luckily the driver had the forethought to move the truck as the bus hit him and that pretty much saved quite a few lives. The driver definitely would have been killed and possibly two or three more people in the front would have been killed.” It was confirmed that the injured passengers were shifted to a nearby local hospitals to be treatment of injuries like minor chest, back and facial injuries while the uninjured passengers were taken to the Syracuse Regional Transportation Center.
