From the looks of the interior, now obviously visible from damage and extrication, it looks more like a RV or celebrity tour coach.

April 17th – On Friday morning Aurora & Sable Altura Fire Rescue responded to a reported “pile up” on Interstate 70 under Colorado E-470. First arriving companies found a touring bus with heavy front end damage and began triage. The bus driver was determined to be Trauma Red, trapped and required mechanical extrication. Triage on the bus resulted in 1 additional Red, 11 Yellows and 2 Greens. While those patients did not need extrication, exiting the bus was difficult and had to be competed through windows. Aurora Battalion 1 assumed Command ans assigned Med 2 to EMS. Multiple transport units were requested and a special call for extra C-Collars and blankets was made. Sable Altura Fire discovered another accident just east of the first which also required medical resources. Mutual aid from Bennett Fire was requested. Ambulatory patients were transported as the extended extrication took place. All patients were transported within the hour and fire crews started clearing the scene. Colorado State Patrol is investigating the incident.
