About 6:40 p.m. daylight savings time, on Monday, August 28, 2006, a 2000 Motor Coach Industries, Inc. (MCI), 45-foot, 55-passenger motorcoach operated by Greyhound Lines, Inc. (Greyhound), transporting 52 passengers and the driver, was traveling northbound on Interstate 87 (I-87) near Westport, New York. The motorcoach had departed the Port Authority terminal in New York City about 1:00 p.m. and was en route to its final destination of Montreal , Quebec
The weather was partly cloudy and the roadway was dry.

The motorcoach began descending a 5-percent grade, in the left lane at about 75 mph,1 and passed a tractor-semitrailer that was in the right lane. As the motorcoach descended the grade, its speed increased to 78 mph. The left-steer-axle2 tire of the motorcoach experienced a failure and sudden deflation. While the tractor-semitrailer was adjacent to the motorcoach in the right lane, the motorcoach departed the left lane, continued across the left shoulder, and struck the three-strand cable barrier. The motorcoach continued through the three-strand cable barrier and into the depressed earthen center median. The motorcoach began to rotate clockwise when the left rear wheels struck a large boulder, causing it to roll over 1.5 times before coming to rest on its roof.
The driver and 4 passengers were killed; 48 passengers sustained injuries ranging from minor to serious.
