Six fatalities were confirmed on the scene, about 64 kilometers northwest of Kingman, Arizona. A seventh person died at the University Medical Center in Las Vegas.
The Arizona Department of Public Safety says the bus was travelling north on US highway 93 when it veered across the median. It rolled at least once before stopping. Tourists on the bus were Chinese nationals who had flown from Shanghai to San Francisco. Police say they are busy with the identification.
