A minivan hit a tour bus during a dust storm Friday near Barstow, killing a 56-year-old woman and her 13-year-old grandson, said California Highway Patrol Sgt. Jeff Arnswald. Several others were injured in the multivehicle wreck.
"When I came through (after the crash), the visibility was nonexistent. There was just sand everywhere," Arnswald said. "I had been there just 20 minutes earlier, and there was no sand and everything was clear."
The wind also downed scores of trees and utility lines, knocking out electrical service Friday to more than 100,000 homes and businesses.
