Utah Bus Crash Went Unreported For Up To 30 Mins

Federal investigators say a bus crash in southeastern Utah went unreported for as long as 30 minutes before a second bus carrying members of the same group discovered the wreckage.

Investigator Pete Kotowski with the National Transportation Safety Board says there was no cell phone service in the area near Mexican Hat, Utah, but someone on the second bus was somehow able to alert authorities.

It's not clear how that occurred.

Nine people died and 23 were hurt when the bus careened off a remote two-lane highway and rolled down an embankment. Read more

7 Killed in Utah Charter Bus Crash

A charter bus rolled off icy roads in far southeastern Utah, killing seven and injuring about 20 passengers.

About 80 passengers were on board the bus when it crashed Sunday about 10 miles north of Mexican Hat, in the Four Corners region where Utah meets Arizona, Colorado and New Mexico. Rescue crews from all four states were deployed to aid the victims, The Salt Lake Tribune reported on its Web site.

The region's isolation and the winter weather slowed aid efforts Sunday. A helicopter from Colorado could not take off because of winter storms. Cell phone service was not available in the area, Utah Highway Patrol spokesman Cameron Roden said. Read more
