Casino Bus Crash Cause Still a Gamble

The Colorado State Patrol continues to investigate why a casino bus headed to Gilpin County gambling towns crossed the center line Thursday, setting off a chain-reaction crash that sent 10 people to the hospital. Bus driver Ralph Hicok, 68, was seriously injured in the crash.

Investigators need to interview him before they can determine an accident cause, said Master Trooper Ron Watkins of the state patrol. The bus was northbound 4 miles south of Black Hawk on Colorado 119 when it veered into the oncoming lane. Watkins said a southbound 1994 Subaru station wagon came around a blind curve. The car's driver managed to avoid the bus, but the vehicle spun out on the gravel shoulder and hit a motorcycle traveling behind the bus. It is unknown how much gambling was actually taking place
