According to a report by WMC Action News, a tour bus traveling from Huntsville crashed in northwestern Mississippi on Wednesday, resulting in two deaths and 44 injuries.

The local sheriff’s department explained that the bus overturned in DeSoto County, which is just outside of Memphis, TN, due to slick and dangerous highways that are covered by sleet.

“All 46 passengers on the bus sustained various injuries, and have been taken to various hospitals,” the report advised.

WAFF in north Alabama has added, “The bus is operated by Teague. The bus picked up passengers from Ashley Furniture off Memorial Parkway in Huntsville on Wednesday morning.”
