I-95 Tour Bus Crash Injures Dozens in Rain, Fog
"Tour bus with 23 passengers crashed this morning on I-95 SB by exit 15 in ‪#NewRochelle," tweeted @HViccaro.
A tour bus crashed on I-95 in New Rochelle, N.Y., this morning with rain and fog around the area.
According to WABC, at least 20 passengers were injured with the driver receiving the most serious injuries.
White Plains, N.Y., located about 3 miles northwest of New Rochelle, N.Y., reported light rain and patchy fog around the time of the crash, just after 6:30 a.m. EDT Wednesday. Visibility was reduced to 5-6 miles in the area.
Moisture from the Atlantic was streaming into the vicinity ahead of a storm system located over eastern Canada. That same storm system will be the trigger for severe weather across portions of the Midwest and Northeast.
