Two people remain hospitalized after a tour bus heading toward Niagara Falls from Chinatown toppled over 40 miles west of the George Washington Bridge along I-80 in Roxbury, NJ yesterday morning. Over 40 passengers were aboard the bus when they found themselves flipped over into an embankment along Route 80 in Morris County after the bus was rear-ended by another charter. Another 20 people received medical attention but were discharged with minor bumps and bruises. The bus had left Chinatown about an hour prior on what was supposed to be a two-day tour. It was owned by Atlantic Express and chartered by Paradise Tours.
