Bus traveling from Montreal to New York City rolled over near Lake George by Northway's Exit 23
LAKE GEORGE — One person was killed and 11 others injured, one seriously, after a tour bus rolled over Friday afternoon on the Northway in the town of Lake George, State Police said.
Troopers responded to the 12:50 p.m. crash in the southbound lanes between exits 23 and 22, Trooper Stephanie O’Neil said. Warren County sheriff’s deputies and members of the county Office of Emergency Services also responded, county spokesman Don Lehman said.
The Skyway Coach Line bus was carrying 23 people including the driver at the time of the accident, State Police said. The highway remained closed as night fell Friday, but the 511NY website later in the night no longer showed it as closed.
State Police are still investigating the crash and are asking anyone who may have witnessed the incident, or the bus before the crash, to contact the State Police at Troop G headquarters at 518-783-3211. The agency is also asking the public to check if they have any dash camera videos that may have recorded the incident.
Randolph Franklin, 71, of Loudonville, who was traveling north on the highway with his nephew when they saw the overturned bus in the southbound lane, told the Times Union the weather and road conditions seemed clear in that area.
Glens Falls Hospital received 12 patients, none of whom were in critical condition, spokesman Ray Agnew said. One person was airlifted to Albany Medical Center Hospital, spokeswoman Sue Ford said. State Police said 10 of the people taken to local hospitals had injuries not considered to be life-threatening.
