Oregon bus crash kills 9 on icy road
(MCT) — Nine passengers died and more than 20 were injured when a charter bus returning to Vancouver, British Columbia, from Las Vegas veered off an icy Oregon road Sunday and plunged down an embankment, officials said.
The bus slid off a straight stretch of Interstate 84 east of Pendleton and appeared to have rolled 85 feet down before coming to rest at the bottom of the hill, where a foot of snow had collected, Umatilla County Emergency Manager Jack Remillard said.
