SPRINGFIELD, Ill., Aug. 3 (UPI) -- The bus that crashed in southern Illinois, killing a female dentist from India, had been thoroughly inspected less than a week earlier, the owner says.
Megabus, which operates double-decker buses, said the vehicle, made by the Belgian Van Hool company, was only a year old, the Chicago Tribune reported. The bus "had passed a full preventative maintenance check within the past week," Megabus spokeswoman Amanda Byers said.
