10 Dead in Northern California bus crash

A casino-bound charter bus flipped over about 10 miles from its destination, ejecting passengers and crushing others as it rolled into a ditch. Ten people died and dozens of others were injured.

California Highway Patrol officials said the bus crashed at about 6:10 p.m. Sunday on a rural road near Williams — about 60 miles north of Sacramento — as it headed to Colusa Casino Resort from Sacramento.

California Highway Patrol Commander Fran Clader said Monday that 10 people were dead and estimated that 35 others were injured.

"It looks like they were going up to the casino to have a good time," Clader said. "Unfortunately, it resulted in tragedy."

Firefighters used flashlights and infrared sensors to search the tall grass near the overturned bus Sunday night for more possible bodies, but by early Monday were certain that they had accounted for all the victims. The mud-covered bus was pulled from the ditch and was on a large tow truck
