PAULS VALLEY, Okla. (AP) - A tour bus overturned along an icy interstate Saturday, killing a woman and an 8-year-old boy, and injuring dozens of others, authorities said.
The bus carrying 45 passengers crashed along Interstate 35 in central Oklahoma, said state Highway Patrol Lt. Stewart Meyer.
"Preliminary indications are that it was due to road conditions," Meyer said.
The bus apparently flipped and skidded on its top before coming to rest on its side, said Brent Thompson, a fire department spokesman.
The driver, Miguel Esquada of Fort Worth, Texas, said through an interpreter that he hit the brakes when a car pulled in front of him suddenly and that the bus began to overturn.

The bus was registered to El Conejo Bus Lines and was traveling from Kansas to Dallas, said Ana Gonzalez, an employee at El Conejo's Dallas office.
