One person was killed and more than 50 others injured in a rollover involving a tour bus Tuesday in northern Arizona, authorities said.
The Hualapai Nation Police Department confirmed that the bus rolled over at approximately 10 a.m. on Tuesday, August 1 at Grand Canyon West in the Hualapai Reservation. Grand Canyon West is run by the Hualapai tribe but has no operational ties to Grand Canyon National Park, which is managed by the National Park Service.
