SALT LAKE CITY (AP) A tour bus crash that threw more than a dozen people onto a remote Utah highway in 2019, killing four Chinese tourists, highlights a lack of safety standards for bus roofs and windows, U.S. investigators said Thursday.
The Garfield County Sheriff’s Office is estimating that the eastbound lane on Interstate 70 at the Canyon Creek exit will be closed for the next 12 hours.

Four people were injured Friday in a crash east of New Castle when a cement truck heading west on Interstate 70 crossed into the eastbound lanes and struck a pickup truck, then landed on top of the truck on a steep bank, ending up inches from the Colorado River.
The accident closed eastbound I-70 until late Friday afternoon and it created a challenging situation for rescuers as they worked to extricate people trapped in the pickup truck.
âI would call it, if you will, an extreme extrication because we had to call PSI Crane to come in and help lift the concrete truck off the vehicle to where we could extricate everybody out and get everybody flown out,â said Leif Sackett, chief of Colorado River Fire Rescue.
