Ceremony for 15 Killed in NYC Casino Bus Crash - ABC News

Print

Relatives of the passengers who died in the crash of a New York City casino bus have returned to the crash site for a

Buddhist ceremony.

One lane of Interstate 95 in the Bronx was closed for about an hour Saturday morning to allow for the ceremony, which was blocked from view to avoid rubbernecking. Fifteen people died in the crash a week ago.

A bell tolled and family members walked in a circle as part of the ceremony.

The bus was returning March 12 to Manhattan's Chinatown from an overnight trip to a Connecticut casino when it tipped over and was sliced in two by a pole.

Authorities are investigating the crash.
