13 die in Texas bus crash
The passengers were members of the Vietnamese Martyrs Church of Houston on a trip to a religious festival in Carthage, Mo., the Dallas Morning News reported.
Police said the bus, carrying 55 people, apparently left the roadway and crashed into a ravine near West Park Avenue.
Twelve adults died at the scene and one died at a Dallas hospital, Sherman police said. Eight others were reported in critical condition at area hospitals. The driver was believed to have survived.
It was unclear what caused the accident, though police said it was possible the bus may have blown a tire.
The bus was one of several headed to the Marian Days festival, an annual celebration in honor of the Virgin Mary.
