A 54-year-old passenger on a bus loaded with Chinese tourists that crashed on Highway 401 has died of his injuries, the OPP said Tuesday morning.
Four other passengers remain in hospital with life-threatening injuries, police said.

They continue to investigate why the Union Tour Express bus with 37 people on board slammed into a rocky embankment near Prescott at about 2:30 p.m. Monday. Dozens were sent to hospitals in Ottawa, Brockville, Kemptville and Kingston.
The driver of the bus suffered injuries that were not life-threatening and would not have prevented him from speaking with investigators, Const. Suzanne Runciman said Tuesday morning.
Collision reconstructionists are continuing their work as investigators speak to witnesses. Another potential avenue of investigation is the onboard computer that most vehicles carry.
“That will tell some of the story as well,” Runciman said.
The Chinese embassy reported that minister-counselor Heng Xiaojun visited some of the injured tourists Monday night.
The highway reopened at about 10:45 p.m. Monday.
The bus was on a 10-day tour of the eastern United States and Canada. It had left Ottawa earlier in the day, a spokesman for the tour operator said. It was bound for Toronto.
The Ottawa Hospital tweeted that families of loved ones involved in the crash can contact the Canadian Red Cross at 1-855-797-8875.
More to come.

Dashcam photos from Robert, a passing driver. Didn't want to give his last name. "I didn't observe the crash, but passed the incident shortly after it occurred. I noticed several police and paramedics on site and was able to see the majority of passengers outside of the bus. The only injuries I could see without becoming distracted as a driver were some passengers holding bloody noses and what appeared to be facial injuries.
