The Dahlia charter bus was traveling from New York to Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncasville, Connecticut, WVIT-TV reported. Additional buses on the same path were being rerouted or sent back.

The state Department of Transportation says the accident happened at about 12:30 p.m. Monday in Madison, Connecticut. The accident occurred during a snowstorm that was expected to drop up to a foot of snow on parts of the state, but it was not immediately clear if the crash was caused by the weather.
