A tour bus filled with passengers crashed near Green Bay, Wisconsin, on the afternoon of Sunday, March 22, 2026, when it went over a five-foot embankment, nearly hitting a building.
At least 41 people were injured and transported to local hospitals. Two people are reported to be in critical condition. The Green Bay Metro Fire Department required assistance from emergency responders from nearby towns.
Officials say the tour bus from the Chicago area crashed as it exited Interstate 43 in Green Bay, Wisconsin, on its way to a casino in Michigan.
The Wisconsin State Patrol is assisting with a vehicle inspection to identify any potential mechanical defects. Police are still interviewing witnesses and the driver to determine the cause of the crash.
