A bus carrying members of a high school marching band on a trip to a music camp ran off a highway and tumbled down a steep embankment in New York state on Thursday, killing two people and injuring dozens of others.
New York Governor Kathy Hochul, speaking at a news conference hours later, said it appeared that "a faulty front tire contributed to the accident," though the cause of the wreck remained under investigation.
A deputy superintendent for the New York State Police said two adult women on the bus as passengers died in the wreck and several passengers were in critical conditions.
