Salina, NY: A bus crash involving a double-decker bus occurred in central New York, killing four people and injuring others. The bus had left Philadelphia on September 10 and was destined for Toronto, with stops in Syracuse and Buffalo. According to The Associated Press (09/11/10), the bus, which was off-route at the time of the accident, was too high to make it under a low clearance bridge.

The Globe and Mail (09/11/10) reports that the bus hit a low hanging railway bridge, crushing the top level of the bus. The bus then flipped onto its side. Clearance for the bridge was 10 feet 9 inches.

Approximately 25 people were on the bus, which was operated by Megabus, when it crashed. Injuries sustained in the bus accident ranged from critical to minor.
