A tour bus that was traveling from Huntsville, Alabama crashed in north Mississippi, leaving two people dead and dozens more injured today.

Mississippi officials have identified the two women who died in the crash. Those women are 61-year-old Cynthia Hardin and 76-year-old Betty Russell. Both women were from Huntsville.

Mississippi officials said victims remain at five different hospitals in two states.

The bus crashed around 12:30 p.m. on Interstate 269 at Highway 78 in DeSoto County, said Sgt. Joey Miller, a spokesman for the Mississippi Highway Patrol. The scene is just south of Collierville, Tennessee, which is a suburb of Memphis.

Miller said the bus, which was carrying 46 people, left Huntsville today heading to Tunica.

“We have two confirmed fatalities,” Miller said by phone. “The 44 injuries range from complaining of pain to cuts to more.”

The injured people were taken to various area hospitals. The authorities haven’t identified any of the victims. Miller said authorities are trying to notify their families.

The bus was operated by Teague VIP Express, an Anniston, Alabama company.

“Our prayers and our hearts go out to the families,” a Teague spokeswoman told AL.com by phone. “Right now, our concern is the people who were on the bus.”

As of Tuesday, the company had a “satisfactory” rating from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. The rating is based on reviews that happened in 2017, the federal records state.

However, the company was cited for 15 violations during 2017 reviews. Those violations were not considered “critical,” according to the FMCSA. The violations included an oil and/or grease leak, inoperative or defective turn signals, windshield wipers and lighting, failure to maintain driver records for the previous seven days of duty status, defective or missing axle parts, a cracked or broken wheel rim, and worn, welded or missing steering system components.

Teague vehicles haven’t been involved in any prior crashes, federal records state.

Roads were becoming icy earlier today in DeSoto County, where sleet and snow were falling, according to the sheriff’s office.

“The cause of this crash is weather related,” Miller said in an emailed statement.
