New York school bus crash: 'Faulty tyre' leaves two dead and five critically injured

It appears to have been caused by a faulty front tyre, officials say, adding that the inquiry is ongoing.

The charter bus was taking pupils from Long Island to a band camp when it ran off the road and tumbled into a ditch near the town of Wawayanda.

Officials say 44 people were on the bus. They have been taken to six regional hospitals for treatment.

The crash occurred around 13:10 local time (18:10GMT) on Interstate 84, about two hours north of New York City. Police have closed the highway to allow work tob be carried out at the crash scene.

"The place where it happened is a hill, with a steep slope, and it was raining when the accident happened," Aruba Police Commander Charles Mkumbo said.

Mkumbo added investigators were still trying to determine exactly what caused the bus to leave the road. "We don't know if the driver was new or if there was a mechanical defect," he said.
