Bus company promises aid
CTNT will pay to return bodies of 9 victims to families
Corporate Transportation 'N Tours motorcoach company said it would cover the expense for the bodies of those who died to be returned to their loved ones. At least eight of the nine victims were being held in mortuaries in Blanding and Moab.
For those passengers who were injured and have not been released from the hospital yet or have been unable to return home, the Red Cross will coordinate their travel arrangements and CTNT will pay for it, according to a statement from the company.
CTNT said it will also "help cover" the expense of loved ones working through the Red Cross to travel to Utah to be with their injured family member.
An Arrow Stage Lines bus carrying 51 passengers and driver missed a sharp turn and rolled down a ravine off U.S. 163 near Mexican Hat, Utah, on Jan. 6. The bus was en route to Phoenix after a ski weekend in Telluride.
The bus company Thursday said it was also in the process of identifying personal items recovered from the crash and returning them to family members. Those looking to recover their goods should call 480-310-0767.
