At least four dead, 12 critically injured, in Utah tour bus crash

A bus carrying Chinese-speaking tourists careened off a road and crashed near Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah on Friday, killing at least four people and critically injuring at least another 12, authorities reported.

The cause of the crash, which occurred at about 11.30am on State Route 12 just west of the park, was under investigation, but weather did not appear to be a factor, state Highway Patrol and Garfield County Sheriff's Department officials said.

A total of 30 people, including the driver, were aboard the bus when it ran off the road, rolled into a guard rail and flipped onto its side, sheriff's spokeswoman Denise Dastrup told Reuters by telephone.

All 26 people aboard who survived were injured, and were taken to various hospitals with injuries ranging from minor to life-threatening, she said.

In one of the videos, a small object streaks across the screen before the US Navy fighter's tracking system locks on and follows it.

"Whoa. Got it," the pilot yells, laughing as the dot moves through the air. "Woohoo!" Another pilot asks: "Wow. What is that, man?"

The Navy is not offering an explanation - at least not publicly - for exactly what that object was. But the service is confirming the authenticity of that video and two others taken from its planes in 2004 and 2015.

Max Verstappen in possible three-way battle at 2019 Singapore Grand Prix

Of the 20 drivers at the Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix, only Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton know what it is like to win at the Marina Bay Street Circuit.

On Sunday, the four-time winners may have to welcome a new member to their exclusive club that also includes retired Fernando Alonso (twice) and Nico Rosberg - if Red Bull starlet Max Verstappen betters last year's runner-up finish.

Red Bull, whose cars are well-suited to high-downforce tracks like Singapore's, have had at least one man in the top two here since 2010, including Vettel's hat-trick of wins from 2011. Their 12 podium finishes are more than double any other team's.
