San Gabriel Bus Company Loses License After Fatal Crash
The California Public Utilities Commission suspended the license of a San Gabriel, California tour bus company following a fatal bus accident near the Hoover Dam in Arizona last week.
Seven bus passengers were killed and ten other passengers were injured in the accident. All passengers were tourists from China. Also injured in the crash were the driver of the bus and a motorcyclist.
The PUC stated that the company did not lose its' license due to the accident but because its' liability insurance lapsed on Monday. The company, DW Tours, also had been fined in the past for utilizing an unlicensed subcontractor operate some of its' bus tours.
The bus crash did not involve any other vehicles. The bus accident was caused when the driver of the bus veered towards the right shoulder of the highway, then flipped after the driver overcorrected his steering,.
