Bus run by company linked to Texas crash pulled from service

By AP/KWMU

Sherman, Tex. – A bus run by the same company linked to a deadly crash in Texas last week has been pulled out of service in Missouri.

The move came after federal officials ordered Iguala BusMex and Angel Tours to cease commercial operations, finding that the companies posed an "imminent hazard." The bus inspected in Carthage was registered to Iguala BusMex.

It was taking people to the same religious festival that the 17 who died were planning to attend. Their bus blew a tire and skidded off a highway near the Texas-Oklahoma border.

Travelers returning from the Missouri festival stopped at the accident site Sunday to put up a memorial.
