Nine people are dead after a tour bus carrying 40 people crashed on Interstate 84 in Oregon Sunday morning at around 10:30 a.m.

The bus had left Las Vegas and was en route to Vancouver.

Twenty others were injured in the crash. Calls from CKNW to Lower Mainland-based company Mi Joo Travel & Tour, which reportedly operates the bus involved, were not immediately returned.

Meanwhile, Sergeant Peter Thiessen with Lower Mainland RCMP couldn't confirm how many Canadians were injured or killed in the accident.

But he says they are working with Oregon State Police.

“We are assisting them with some of the next of kin notifications that are required to be carried out here in the Lower Mainland."

Thiessen says they will be available to support any affected families as they complete the notifications.
