Niagara Falls Tour Bus Crash: Multiple Dead, Dozens Injured

Tragedy struck New York State Friday afternoon as a tour bus carrying more than 50 passengers rolled over on I-90 near Pembroke, about 25 miles east of Buffalo. Officials immediately declared it a “mass casualty” incident.

At least three people, including a child, have been confirmed dead, with dozens more injured. Multiple passengers were reportedly flung from the bus, while others were pinned underneath as the vehicle crashed into a roadside ditch.

Photos from the scene show shattered glass, luggage strewn across the highway, and emergency responders fighting to rescue survivors. Medical helicopters and ambulances rushed victims to local hospitals, including Oishei Children’s Hospital in Buffalo

.

The bus had been traveling back from Niagara Falls and was headed toward New York City. Most families on board were identified as Filipino, Indian, and Chinese tourists.

Witness Powell Stephens, who drove past the crash, told The Buffalo News: “There was glass all over the road and people’s stuff everywhere. Windows were all shattered.”

Governor Kathy Hochul said she was briefed and called the tragedy “heartbreaking,” while Attorney General Letitia James added: “This bus crash is heartbreaking, and I’m praying for everyone impacted.”

This marks one of the largest single trauma incidents in Buffalo’s history. The full cause of the crash is still under investigation.
