Officials identify 2 killed in Texas bus crash

CAMPBELLTON, Texas — Authorities in Texas have released the identities of the two people who died when a tour bus headed for Mexico crashed.

Texas Department of Public Safety spokeswoman Tela Mange said Wednesday passengers 62-year-old Christina Lozano Campos of Lewisville and 27-year-old Efrain Dominguez-Valenzuela of Brownsville were killed in the accident.

About 40 other people on the bus were taken to area hospitals. At least one other passenger was in critical condition, while others were in stable or had been discharged.

The Americanos USA bus left San Antonio Tuesday and was headed to Matamoros, Mexico. About an hour into the trip, passengers heard a noise and felt the bus flip around before toppling onto a grassy median.

The cause of the accident is under investigation.
