Utah Bus Accident Tribute

Eight people were killed and 19 injured after a tour bus carrying people on a ski trip left a highway and rolled over Sunday night in southeastern Utah, a highway patrol spokesman said.

Rescue crews took the injured people to hospitals in Utah, Colorado and Arizona, he said.

The Salt Lake Tribune reported that ambulances from Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico responded to the accident, and a helicopter from Colorado could not fly to the crash site because of winter storms.

Four of the dead were male, two were female and the gender of two others was unknown, Roden said.

Most of the passengers were returning home from a weekend ski trip to Telluride, he said.
