Aug. 22 (UPI) — At least five people, including a child, died when a chartered tour bus crashed and rolled in upstate New York while returning from Niagara Falls on Friday.

The bus was carrying 52 people, including the driver, when it crashed in Pembroke, about 25 miles east of Buffalo on Interstate-90 between exits 49 and 48A in a single-vehicle accident, Spectrum News 1 reported. The crash occurred before 12:30 p.m.

The rollover accident ejected many of the passengers from the bus.

The bus was returning to New York City from Niagara Falls when the driver lost control, struck the median, overcorrected and went into a ditch, which caused a deadly rollover, New York State Police spokesman James O’Callaghan told media.

He said at least one of the fatalities was a child.

“It’s a very volatile scene,” O’Callaghan said. “We have vehicles going the wrong way on the 90.”

All passengers suffered at least minor injuries, and many were not wearing seatbelts when the accident occurred, he added.

The driver survived the accident and is doing well, O’Callaghan said.

“We’re working with him,” he added. “We have a good idea of what happened [and] why the bus lost control.”

O’Callaghan did not elaborate on the accident’s likely cause.

Area hospitals have treated more than 40 people for injuries, which include head trauma, broken legs and broken arms, according to PBS.

Most of the passengers were visitors from India, China and the Philippines, and first responders took accident victims to three area hospitals.

Because most are international travelers, hospitals used translation devices to communicate with many of them.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, in a social media post, called the accident “tragic” and said first responders are assisting all involved.
