Five people died and 24 injured when tour bus rolled over in upstate New York on Friday, after the vehicle's allegedly distracted driver over-compensated on the road.

After spending the morning taking in the breathtaking sights at Niagara Falls, a group of tourists boarded a bus to return to New York City, not knowing about an hour later, their bus would be lying on its side in the ditch off the New York State Thruway.

Five people were killed and an unknown number of other passengers on the bus were injured after a tour bus they were traveling in rolled over while heading east on the New York Thruway in Pembroke, NY on Aug. 22, 2025. Police identified the five people who were killed in a tour bus crash in western New York on Friday.
