A tour bus carrying more than 50 people veered out of control and rolled over on an Upstate New York highway on Friday, killing at least five people and injuring dozens of others, authorities said.

At least one child was among the dead, according to trooper James O’Callaghan, a spokesperson for the New York State Police. He told reporters near the scene that most of the passengers were Asian or of Asian descent, including Chinese, Indians and Filipinos.

The accident took place on Interstate 90, part of the New York State Thruway, in Pembroke, New York, about 30 miles (48 km) east of Buffalo, while the bus was en route from Niagara Falls to New York City.

The National Transportation Safety Board was sending a team to investigate the accident, the agency said.

Multiple passengers ended up trapped in the wreckage and had to be extricated, while others were thrown from the bus when it rolled over across the highway before coming to rest on its side in a ditch along the shoulder of the road, O’Callaghan said.

The driver, who survived the accident, lost control while the bus was moving at “full speed,” he said, causing the vehicle to career into the median and then flip over. No other vehicles were involved.

The driver was cooperating with investigators, O’Callaghan said, and police were in contact with the bus company, which was not publicly identified.

The bus was carrying 51 passengers, not counting the driver, and every person aboard suffered some kind of injury, O’Callaghan said.

An online statement by state police said “several fatalities” were confirmed. New York Governor Kathy Hochul said on the social platform X that police had confirmed that “five lives were tragically lost.”

After the crash, authorities closed the highway in both directions, causing massive traffic delays at the onset of one of the last weekends of the summer vacation season.

An Obama-appointed judge ruled on Friday that President Donald Trump can’t cut federal funding from dozens of cities and counties that officials have deemed “sanctuaries” for illegal immigrants.

U.S. District Judge William Orrick, who was appointed by former President Barack Obama in 2012, extended a preliminary injunction to block the Trump administration from pulling federal funds, or attaching immigration conditions to federal funds for local jurisdictions, according to a Fox News report.

The ruling protects more than 30 sanctuary jurisdictions, including Los Angeles, Baltimore, Boston, and Chicago.

Orrick additionally blocked Trump from placing similar immigration-related conditions on two grant programs.

The judge argued that Trump’s action to protect Americans from unvetted illegal immigrants, specifically by threatening to withhold federal funding, is unconstitutional coercion.

In January, Trump signed an executive order to cut off federal funding for sanctuary jurisdictions, moving to fulfill a widely-supported campaign promise. The EO, called “Protecting the American People Against Invasion,” directs the DOJ and the Department of Homeland Security to ensure “sanctuary jurisdictions” do not receive federal money. It further directs the DOJ and DHS to “evaluate and undertake any other lawful actions, criminal or civil, that they deem warranted based on any such jurisdiction’s practices that interfere with the enforcement of Federal law.”

The administration has also targeted the worst of the worst, suing Los Angeles and New York City for such policies. The DOJ sued Los Angeles in June, arguing that city policies barring city resources from aiding in immigration enforcement operations or collecting information about individuals’ citizenship status violate federal law, Reuters reported. A month later, the DOJ took action against New York City for related immigration reasons.

Trump has spoken fiercely about wanting to defund sanctuary jurisdictions, deeming them a threat to the American people and the rule of law.

“No more Sanctuary Cities! They protect the Criminals, not the Victims. They are disgracing our Country, and are being mocked all over the World,” Trump posted back in April on Truth Social. “Working on papers to withhold all Federal Funding for any City or State that allows these Death Traps to exist!!!”

The Trump administration is expected to appeal the ruling.
