SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) -- A Greyhound bus rolled onto its side during a rainy Tuesday morning commute in Northern California, killing two women and sending at least eight others to the hospital, authorities said.
Several other victims suffered minor injuries and were treated at the scene in San Jose. One person suffered major injuries, and three others had moderate injuries, the California Highway Patrol said. Others were ferried to a hospital to be treated for bruises and cuts.
The Greyhound bus carrying 20 passengers and the driver rolled onto the center divider of Highway 101, a major commuting thoroughfare, while heading north around 6:40 a.m., said Lanesha Gipson, a Greyhound spokeswoman.
The vehicle left Los Angeles at 11:30 p.m. Monday with stops planned in San Jose, San Francisco and Oakland, Gipson said. The driver began his shift in LA, and the company requires operators to rest nine hours between trips, she said.
