Looking into the safety of LA-area tour bus companies
Tour bus operators are once again under a microscope after yesterday's crash on the 210 in Irwindale that injured more than 50 people. Authorities say the bus clipped the back of another car while changing lanes, swerved and rolled over onto its side off the freeway.

Tour bus operators are once again under a microscope after yesterday's crash on the 210 in Irwindale that injured more than 50 people. Authorities say the bus clipped the back of another car while changing lanes, swerved and rolled over onto its side off the freeway.

The bus was on its way to the San Manuel Indian Casino in Highland, and most of the passengers were senior citizens. The accident comes six months after another tour bus crashed on state route 38 in Yucaipa, killing seven passengers and the driver of another car, and injuring nearly 40 people.

KPCC's investigative producer Karen Foshay joins the show with more.
