GUNNISON, Colo. (AP) - Authorities say a tour bus has crashed on an icy mountain highway in central Colorado and eight people are
injured, including two in serious condition.

The Colorado State Patrol says the accident occurred about 8:20 p.m. MST Saturday on Highway 114, about eight miles southeast of Gunnison.

Trooper Nate Reid tells The Associated Press that the bus operated by Gotta Go Express Trail Ways was carrying 46 people when it veered off a snowpacked roadway and rolled onto its side.

Eight people were hospitalized with injuries. Reid says two of them are in serious condition and the rest have moderate injuries. He says none of them are life-threatening.

The other 38 people aboard the bus were taken by a school bus to a Gunnison hospital to be checked out. Reid says some of them had bumps and bruises.

The bus was carrying a church group from Denton, Texas, to the town of Crested Butte.

AUSTIN (KXAN) - A driver died on South Mopac early Sunday morning after losing control and crashing his truck.

The wreck happened around 2 a.m. at the MoPac intersection with South Highway 360 near Barton Creek Square Mall.

The truck ran off the road and hit a light pole.

The driver was pinned in the truck and died at the scene.

Austin police have not identified the driver.

APD investigators suspect alcohol was involved, but they won't know for sure until later in the week.

Witnesses report the truck driving around 90-miles-per-hour and weaving in and out of traffic.

Police used thermal imaging in their helicopter to search the woods for a possible passenger.

Some debris from the crash hit a Honda Civic that was driving by, but that driver was not hurt.
