2 dead when tour bus overturns in Washington state
Seattle (CNN) -- Two people were killed and 21 others were reportedly injured when a tour bus rolled over on Interstate 90 in central Washington, according to the Washington State Patrol and CNN affiliate KING .
The two fatalities were a 51-year-old man and a 45-year-old woman, both passengers on the bus, the state patrol said in a statement.
The crash occurred about 6 p.m. Saturday (9 p.m. ET), according to KING. The bus started changing lanes to avoid a disabled pickup truck on the right shoulder, but a passenger car was in the left lane, Lt. Scott Martin of the state patrol told the station.
The bus and the car then swerved to avoid each other, both overturning, he said. "The bus ended up striking the pickup that was on the shoulder and the bus rolled onto its side," Martin said.
The car crossed into the center median and crashed, KING said.
"I saw people crawling out from underneath the bus, or being dragged out," witness Paul Jimenez, who was headed westbound to Seattle and came on the scene moments after the accident happened, told KING.
