At least 4 dead in Utah tour bus crash: Officials

At least four people are dead after a tour bus rolled over on a Utah road, ejecting some passengers, authorities said.

Thirty people, including the driver, were on board when the bus rolled over near Bryce Canyon National Park on SR-12, Garfield County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Denise Dastrup said.

Twelve to 15 bus passengers suffered “very critical injuries,” the highway patrol said.
