At least one person is dead after a bus rolled over at Grand Canyon West.

According to the Hulapai Nation Police Department and the Arizona Department of Public Safety, this happened on Tuesday at 9:50 a.m. within the Grand Canyon Resort Corp Circle in Terminal.

Hualapai Emergency Services, GCW Air Rescue Fire, Lake Mohave Ranchos Fire Department, Northern Arizona Consolidated Fire Department, AMR ambulances, Bullhead Fire Department, and five medical flight agencies responded to the scene.

Emergency officials said 57 people were involved in the rollover. Eight people were flown to surrounding hospitals while people who sustained non-critical injuries drove to medical centers. At least one person has died.

University Medical Center confirmed they received eight patients from the crash. They said all of those patients are in fair condition as of Tuesday night.

Earlier in the day, a public relations representative told Channel 13 that Grand Canyon West would be closed all day Tuesday "due to a collision between a private tour operator and a visitor's personal vehicle near Grand Canyon West's parking lot."
