Bus Bound For Las Vegas Crashes; 1 Dead, 21 Hurt
A charter bus overturned Saturday on a Mojave Desert freeway, killing a woman and injuring 21 other people, authorities said.
The bus was heading to the gambling town of Laughlin, Nev., when it crashed about three miles east of the town of Ludlow shortly before 11 a.m., said Tracey Martinez, a spokeswoman for the San Bernardino County Fire Department.
"There were no other vehicles involved," she said. "It did not roll over but it did land on its side."
A woman was flung from the bus and died, she said. Eight other people received severe injuries and 13 had minor to moderate injuries.
