Details have emerged in the horrific bus accident that took place on a rural northern California road Sunday evening, and it seems the bus didn’t even have a valid license plate. According to details provided by the California Highway Patrol, the bus was headed from Sacramento a casino when it flipped and rolled into a ditch. Eyewitnesses say the bus "cartwheeled" into the ditch around 6:15 p.m. Pacific time.

At the time of this writing, up to 38 people may have been critically injured and ten are dead. About 12 of the victims were actually ejected from the bus during the crash. The bus driver is alive but in critical condition at this time. The driver was walking around after the crash but had suffered a very serious injury. He was unable to give a statement due to the injury. One report has indicated that the driver is on some kind of medication.

Reports also indicate that the bus was old, had no valid plate and no seatbelts.
