How can I find out the names of the victims involved in this crash?

Hi Anna, I haven't been able to learn the names of the injured people in the bus. The media did just release the name of the deceased driver, which I've added to this page. I will keep an eye out for any further information I can find, and will update this page with what I find. Thanks, Ingrid, Accident Data Center
