The driver of the bus that crashed in rural California and killed 10 people was driving under the influence, the California Highway Patrol alleged Monday.

Quienten Joey Watts, 52, of Stockton, Calif., was listed in critical condition in a Woodland-area hospital, one of 35 people officials said were injured in Sunday's crash of a bus traveling from Sacramento to the Colusa Casino near Williams in rural Colusa County, The Sacramento Bee reported.

The California Highway Patrol said Watts would be arrested for suspected DUI.

CHP Special Officer Robert Kays told the Bee the bus had Texas license plates and an invalid registration, which hindered officials from determining who owned the vehicle. The owner was later discovered to be bus line owner Daniel Cobb Sr., 68, of Sacramento.

About 45 people were on the bus and they were possibly Laotian from Sacramento, CHP spokeswoman Fran Clader told the Bee.

The crash occurred on a two-lane road that is a shortcut for motorists headed to the casino, officials said.

Kays said witnesses told police they saw the bus swerve onto the right shoulder, over-correct and it wound up going across the highway, flipping and overturning so it was facing in the wrong direction ... from the original direction it was going.
