The charter bus struck another vehicle and rolled over on the highway, ejecting several passengers. Four women and two men were killed in the accident.

The eight of the injured were treated at Maricopa Medical Center for injuries such as bleeding of the brain, broken spines, broken legs, broken ribs and broken pelvises. http://www.azcentral.com/community/phoenix/articles/2010/03/05/20100305phoenix-bus-crash-patients-injuries-abrk05-ON.html
