Four people were killed when a Dallas Cowboys bus collided with a van on a northwestern Arizona highway on Sunday afternoon. The bus was carrying Cowboys staffers but no players; there were no injuries on the bus but unfortunately there were multiple casualties in the van.
“All on the bus came through OK with some bumps and bruises,” Cowboys spokesman Rich Dalrymple said in an email.
The fatalities were passengers in the van, Arizona Department of Public Safety spokesman Quentin Mehr said
So far officials have not said what caused the accident.
According to ESPN, the bus was on its way to a Dallas Cowboys fan event in Las Vegas. Charles Cooper, manager of GameWorks entertainment center in Vegas, said the session with 50 to 75 fans was scheduled for 3 p.m. PDT. People were already waiting when the president of a Las Vegas Cowboys fan club called to relay news of the crash. The event was subsequently canceled. Cooper said the team mascot was supposed to appear.
The bus was scheduled to go to the team’s training camp after the Vegas stop.
