Two people were killed and dozens were injured when a "Ride the Ducks" vehicle plowed into the side of a BellAir tour bus Wednesday on the Aurora Bridge, officials said. Nine of the injured were reported to be in critical condition. All lanes of the bridge were closed by the crash and are expected to remain closed for hours. Police and medics rushed to the scene at about 11:05 a.m. Thursday after receiving reports of a major collision. A triage unit was quickly set up at the site, and 50 people were being evaluated. Aerial footage from KOMO's Air 4 shows the side of the bus caved in, windows shattered and a tire ripped off from the force of the impact. Debris and wreckage covers the pavement. Firefighters scrambled over both vehicles as they pull out victims of the crash and treat them. One witness who was aboard the Duck vehicle told KOMO News that the vehicle "veered out of control" just before the crash.
