WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The National Transportation Safety Board said on Wednesday a tour bus involved in a deadly New York crash in September in New York ran a red light when it struck a municipal city bus.
Three people died when the Dahlia Group tour bus crashed into a Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) bus. The victims included the driver of the tour bus, a passenger on the transit bus and a pedestrian.
The NTSB, citing surveillance camera video, said in a preliminary report the early morning crash occurred in the city’s Queens borough after the motorcoach did not stop at a red traffic signal and struck the left-rear portion of the transit bus.
The force of the impact spun the transit bus 180 degrees counter-clockwise, causing it push an unoccupied parked car into another parked car. The tour bus crossed over the sidewalk and crashed into a building.
