The crash killed the bus driver and left at least four passengers seriously injured.
A bus of Phantom Regiment Drum and Bugle Corps staff and volunteers rolled over on the I-10 highway early Monday morning near the California/Arizona border.
According to one source, the bus driver, who was not wearing a seat belt, was thrown out and then crushed by the bus. Arizona Department of Public Safety Officials believe that the bus blew a tire, went up an embankment, and then rolled over.
Of the thirteen other passengers, two were airlifted to a hospital and another two transported by ambulance. We do not yet have any update on their identity or condition. No performing members of the corps were involved in the crash.
