1/31/09 Quote: CNN) -- A bus carrying Chinese tourists overturned Friday near Hoover Dam, killing at least seven people and injuring at least nine others, an Arizona Department of Public Safety spokesman said.
 Authorities work on the crash scene Friday on U.S. 93 in White Hills, Arizona, near Hoover Dam.
The accident happened at 4 p.m. on U.S. 93 at mile marker 27, about 27 miles south of Hoover Dam, said Lt. James Warriner.
The dead lay in body bags on the roadway near the bus, which was on its side across both lanes and onto the shoulder of the highway.
Initial reports from the scene indicated rescuers had difficulty communicating with the passengers, all of them Chinese nationals.
Five of the injured were taken to Kingman Regional Medical Center, where one was in critical condition and four were in serious condition, said Ryan Kennedy, executive director of operations.
