About 2:30 a.m., the 13-foot-high bus they were riding in crashed into a railroad bridge 10 feet, 9 inches highin Salina, N.Y., just outside of Syracuse, shredding the top deck of the bus and toppling it on its side.
Among the four killed in the crash were Coffey, 19, a native of Kansas, and Deanna Armstrong, 18, from Voorhees, N.J., said Onondaga County Sheriff's Deputy Herb Wiggins.
Five others were seriously injured and remained hospitalized last night, including Carl Kerr, 51, and Mabel Tabb, 79, both of Philadelphia; a King of Prussia woman, Lo Wah Chu, 55; and the bus driver, John Tomaszewski, 59, of Bordentown Township, N.J., police said.
Don Carmichael, a senior vice president at Coach USA, which operates Megabus, said that the driver, John Tomaszewski, had driven the route regularly. Carmichael called the crash an "unfortunate, horrific accident."
Police said that Tomaszewski is not believed to have been intoxicated and may have made a wrong turn onto the unfamiliar roadway. Wiggins did say, though, that the bridge has many warning signs about its height, some of which are flashing.
Onondaga Sherriff Kevin Walsh told Syracuse television station YNN that, in police interviews, Tomaszewski said that he was following his GPS and did not see the signs or the bridge.
Wiggins said that the Sheriff's Department will issue a traffic infraction but that criminal charges, if warranted, would be handed down by the Onondaga County District Attorney's Office.
