 Betty Yu / NBC 6 Crews assist at the scene of the bus accident at Miami International Airport on Saturday. By NBC News staff and wire reports A double-decker bus hit an overpass at Miami International Airport on Saturday, killing at least one person and injuring more than two dozen people on board. At least three of the injured are in critical condition, NBCMiami.com reported. The bus, which was a cruise or tour bus of some sort, hit the overpass going into the airport's arrivals section on Saturday morning, airport spokesman Greg Chin said. The bus was going about 20 mph when it clipped the roof entrance. Chin said 32 people were on the bus, and all have some sort of injuries. The arrival area remained blocked off by fire trucks and police cars Saturday morning. Miami-Dade police Lt. Rosanna Cordero-Stutz said the bus is privately owned and typically used for tours. It was not immediately clear where the bus was headed, but Cordero-Stutz said the driver was unfamiliar with the area and did not intend to wind up at the airport. Buses are supposed to travel through the departure area, not the arrival section, because it has a higher clearance for large vehicles, Chin said. The names of the victims were not immediately released. The Associated Press contributed to this report. More content from NBCNews.com:
