A bus crash on the Long Island Expressway in New York on Monday night killed two people and left 20 people injured, officials said.
The coach crashed just before midnight, when the westbound bus ran into two vehicles before colliding with the median, causing the bus to flip and strike two additional vehicles. The incident happened in Queens near the Greenpoint Avenue exit in Maspeth.
The bus driver and a passenger were pronounced dead on the scene, and roughly two dozen passengers were transported to nearby hospitals for injuries, according to officials.
