MANHATTAN — A tour bus bound for New York City reportedly crashed in Pennsylvania Monday morning, killing the driver and injuring multiple passengers on board.

The bus collided with a tractor-trailer on the Pennsylvania Turnpike near Donegal, Pa., about 40 miles southwest of Pittsburgh, about 7:20 a.m., WPIX reported.

The bus contained dozens of Asian tourists on their way to New York City from Louisville, Ky., according to reports.

The driver was identified as Bo Hua Tan, of New York, Pittsburgh's WPXI reported.

The incident follows a fatal Chinatown-bound tour bus crash in Virginia less than a month ago that killed four passengers, and back to back tour bus wrecks in Bronx and New Jersey that killed 17 people in March.
