Police say 24 in hospital after highway bus crash in eastern Ontario
PRESCOTT, Ont. — A bus carrying Chinese tourists crashed into a rock cut Monday in eastern Ontario, sending at least 24 people to hospital, four with life-threatening injuries, provincial police said.
Const. Suzanne Runciman said the bus was carrying about 37 people, including the driver and a tour guide, when it went off the westbound lanes of Highway 401 and hit the rock cut.
Runciman said the crash took place at about 2:30 p.m. between Brockville and Prescott.
“My understanding is they are tourists, there was a tour guide with them,” Runciman said.
