"SOLEDAD, Calif. - A bus carrying French tourists overturned on an overpass in central California Tuesday(April 28), killing at least five and injuring dozens. Investigators were trying to determine the cause of the crash that shut down U.S. 101 for hours, but said the tour bus appeared to be the only vehicle involved. The maroon Orion Pacific bus lay on its side after crashing into the guard rail on the two-lane southbound overpass in Soledad, about 100 miles southeast of San Francisco. The crash ejected four passengers from the vehicle, sending one over the side of the road and onto railroad tracks 60 to 70 feet below, said California Highway Patrol spokesman Brian Wiest.
'It's a tragedy,' Wiest said. 'It's certainly one of worst I've seen in a long time.' "  Continuation
