Preliminary investigation revealed a Coach USA bus with no passengers lost control and rolled over onto it’s side. The driver was ejected sustaining serious injuries and was removed to a local hospital in critical condition.

It appears that the accident was due to a combination of icy roads and speed unsafe for conditions.

The eastboand lanes were temporarily closed for approximately 1-hour while the bus was removed.
