Los Angeles, Sept 21 (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 21st Sep, 2019 ) :At least four people were killed and up to 15 others were critically injured when a bus transporting Chinese tourists crashed on Friday near Bryce Canyon National Park in the US state of Utah, local authorities said.
The Utah Highway Patrol posted a picture of the mangled bus, with its roof partly caved in, lying on the side of the main highway leading to the park entrance.
Local news reports said the crash took place in the morning about seven miles from the park entrance, forcing the road to be shut as ambulances and rescue vehicles rushed to the site.
Thirty people, including the driver, were reportedly on board the bus when it crashed.
