'This could have been tragic': Dozens injured after overpass rips roof off

Someone yelled "duck" seconds before a packed charter bus slammed into an overpass on a Long Island highway, ripping the top off the bus and injuring dozens of teens, their chaperones and the driver, a New York State Police spokesman said Monday.

Maj. David Candelaria said bridges on the Southern State Parkway are too low to accommodate buses, and the driver apparently was unaware that commercial vehicles are banned. The driver, identified as Troy Gaston of Bethlehem, Pa., did not slow down before hitting the overpass, Candelaria said. Click here for more details from News 2
