The crash was reported about 12:20 p.m. near Milepost 5 on Diamond Bar Road, sheriff s officials said in a news release. The bus, with 48 passengers on board including the driver, rolled and landed on its side.
One passenger was pronounced dead at the scene. The two critically injured passengers were taken to nearby hospitals.
“It was a heavily damaged bus, he slid down the road quite a ways, so there was a lot of wreckage,” Lake Mohave Ranchos Fire District Chief Tim Bonney told The Associated Press. Bonney was in the first fire unit that responded to the crash about 15 minutes after it happened. “Just to put it in perspective, on a scale of zero to 10, an eight.”
