Tragic New York Tour Bus Accident: 1 Fatality, 11 Injured

By -

 A tour bus rolled over in Lake George, New York on Friday, killing one and injuring 11 others while closing Interstate 87, New York State Police said.


 State police said that the Skyway Coach Line bus was traveling from Montreal at the time of the crash with 23 individuals on board when it rolled over at around 12:50 p.m.

One passenger was killed, one suffered serious injuries and ten others had non-life-threatening injuries—all the injured were taken to area hospitals.

Police are asking anyone who witnessed the crash to contact the New York State Police.

Gov. Kathy Hochul announced Friday afternoon that a “tour bus with multiple passengers” rolled over between Lake George and Warrensburg, and that state police and the Department of Transportation were onsite “performing rescue operations.”

“I join New Yorkers in praying for all involved in this horrific incident and am grateful for the heroic efforts of our first responders,” Hochul said in a post on X, formerly Twitter.


In September, another New York bus crash made headlines when two teachers died and multiple students were injured after it flipped into a ravine while carrying students from Farmingdale on Long Island to a band camp in Pennsylvania along Interstate 84.

The incident comes as the state is preparing for a snow storm this weekend that could impact travel. A winter storm warning is in effect for the Lake George area with accumulations of six to 12 inches possible, according to the National Weather Service, which warns that “travel could be very difficult” during the storm.

  The Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) has countered the BBC documentary on the late Temitope Babatunde Joshua, known as TB Joshua, founder of SCOAN. SCOAN described the documentary against TB Joshua as unfounded, and that the characters interviewed in the report were unknown to the church. The church, in a statement signed by its Public Affairs Director, Mr Dare Adejumo, said the statement was aimed at disabusing public minds from the report. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the BBC released a highly controversial and damning documentary on the late TB Joshua on Monday, accusing him of various crimes, including rape, against some members. SCOAN said, “BBC World Services investigative unit, code-named Africa Eye, came out this week with weird and strange episodes of atrocities against the late founder of SCOAN.” It said that to investigate and publish or broadcast reports was a central kernel of journalism, but to do so outside the ethics and fundamental principles

The league announced the ban on Friday morning ... saying an investigation into the free agent revealed he had "engaged in inappropriate and offensive behavior." NBA officials called his actions "conduct detrimental to the league." They did, however, note that they "did not find evidence that he engaged in any sexual or other misconduct apart from these brief exposures."
