Police say a third passenger injured when a tour bus from New York crashed in Delaware last month has died. 

Delaware State Police Sgt. Paul G. Shavack said in an email that 43-year-old Jyostina Poojari of Mumbai, India, died Thursday morning at Christiana Hospital in Newark. She was taken there after the Sept. 21 crash in Bear.

Two other passengers, 54-year-old Hua'y Chen of New York City and 30-year-old Idil Bahsi of Istanbul, Turkey, were killed and dozens were injured when the bus overturned on a curved exit ramp.

The driver, 56-year-old Jinli Zhao of Flushing, New York, has been charged with two counts of operating a vehicle causing the death of another person.

Police said he was allegedly driving at an unsafe speed.
