Be Tankful For The Life You Have! At Any Moment, Life Could End Unexpectedly

CNN -- Two people were killed and 21 were injured Wednesday when a tour bus went out of control and overturned on a freeway outside Austin, Minnesota, state authorities said.

The bus was carrying a group returning from a casino visit. It overturned on Interstate 90 about three miles west of Austin and landed in a ditch off the right side of the roadway. At least 10 ambulances and several medical helicopters were called to the scene.

"All 23 people on board were either injured or killed," said Andy Skoogman, spokesman for the Minnesota Department of Public Safety. At least two of the injured were in critical condition, officials said.

Weather conditions were good when the bus, headed east, crossed the highway median, crossed over westbound lanes and overturned, Skoogman said.

The cause of the accident was not immediately known, he said.

Investigators talked with some passengers, he said, but had not talked with the driver, who is in serious condition.

The bus was returning to Rochester, Minnesota, from a trip to a casino in Northwood, Iowa, said Capt. Matt Langer of Minnesota state patrol.

No other cars were involved in the accident
