Five people hospitalized after bus collides with car

Five people were hospitalized with non-serious injuries after a tour bus collided with a sedan near the Tropicana Avenue-Interstate 15 interchange on Tuesday morning, the Nevada Highway Patrol said.

The Las Vegas-based tour bus headed to Hollywood was traveling west on Tropicana turning onto the I-15 southbound interchange when it collided with a sedan headed east on Tropicana about 6:48 a.m., trooper Joseph Fackrell said.

The bus then struck a utility pole.

Fackrell said one of the vehicles ran a red light, but it hadn't been determined which one.

He said the driver and four bus passengers were hospitalized.

The intersection was closed about 90 minutes, Fackrell said.
