A casino bus driver lost control in New Rochelle, NY sending 24 people to the hospital with multiple injuries, while some remembered an accident last year killing 15 casino-goers just two miles away.

The bus was traveling from Foxwoods in Connecticut to Chinatown in Queens when it struck a guard rail on I95 in New Rochelle, veered right over three lanes, then slid about 500 feet along an outer barrier before stopping.

Of the 24 people on board, the bus driver was the most seriously injured. All were sent to hospitals, but none had serious injuries.

Individuals using, transporting or selling illegal fireworks can be arrested, their cars confiscated and their businesses closed. The NYPD offers up to $1,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of persons possessing or distributing fireworks.
