A state official says two people are dead and 21 injured after a tour bus ran off a southern Minnesota interstate and rolled over in a ditch.

Minnesota Department of Public Safety spokesman Andy Skoogman confirms the deaths from the crash that happened about 3:30 p.m.
Wednesday on Interstate 90 west of Austin.

Minnesota State Patrol Sgt. Jackie Sticha says the bus operated by Strain Bus Line Motorcoach Tours in Rochester was eastbound about 3:20 p.m. when it crossed into westbound lanes then crashed.

Strain Bus Line operates a bus every Wednesday from Rochester to Diamond Jo Casino in Northwood, Iowa.

Northwood is about 30 miles southwest of Austin. The accident happened about 2 miles west of the city. The patrol said the road was clear and dry.
