WASHINGTON (AP) ? Safety officials are planning to release on Tuesday the results of an investigation into a deadly tour bus crash in New York last year that killed 15 passengers and helped prompt a crackdown on rogue bus operators by federal regulators.

The investigation results will be presented at a meeting of the National Transportation Safety Board. The board will decide the probable cause of the accident and make safety recommendations.

On March 12, 2011, a bus returning to New York's Chinatown from an overnight trip to a casino in Connecticut crashed into the support pole for a highway sign. The pole knifed through the bus front to back along the window line, peeling the roof off all the way to the back tires. Investigators have said the bus was speeding.
