A serious accident occurred in Western New York. A tour bus crashed about 30 miles east of Buffalo. The event was very tragic for everyone involved.
There were many people traveling on the bus when the accident happened. According to officials, several people died. They confirmed that, tragically, at least one child was among those killed.
Because the crash was so serious, emergency services needed to work at the scene. For their safety, authorities had to shut down a large part of the New York State Thruway. This meant that no cars could pass through the area.
The road closure caused long traffic delays. Drivers were told to find other routes while the police and medical teams helped the people who were hurt.
