BEIJING, Feb. 1 (Xinhua) -- China's Foreign Ministry has demanded that the U.S. embassy to China facilitate travel for the families of those killed and injured in Friday's tour bus crash near the Hoover Dam in Arizona.The ministry confirmed that six Chinese nationals died and nine were injured, including one from Hong Kong although the names of those who were killed has not been released. Investigators are looking into the cause of the deadly tour bus crash on U.S. Highway 93 about 27 miles south of the Hoover Dam but no cause has yet to be identified. It may take weeks to determine if the vehicle overturned as a result of driver error, a defect in a bus component or other cause of the crash which killed seven passengers and injured 10 others. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) was helping to investigate the cause of Friday’s crash.
The 24-passenger 2007 Chevrolet Starcraft bus with 16 people on board veered off northbound U.S. 93 about 27 miles south of the Hoover Dam at about 3:06 p.m. Las Vegas time. The driver then over-corrected and crossed the median, said Lt. James Warriner of the Arizona Department of Public Safety. The bus then tipped over onto its right side across the two southbound lanes of the four-lane divided highway. The bus company operating the tour is DW Tour & Charter of San Gabriel, CA. The company was recently cited and fined, but it is unclear what the citation was for.

Those roads in and around the dam can be treacherous, especially if you drive too fast or take those turns too sharply. A bus would have no business doing either.

There has been an unconfirmed suggestion that people on the bus were taking naps and that maybe the bus driver also dozed off.
