SEATTLE (AP) — The Seattle fire chief says four people died at the scene of a crash involving a charter bus, an amphibious tour vehicle and two passenger cars.

Chief Harold Scoggins said at a news conference today that 12 were critically injured, higher than previously reported. Many others received minor injuries.
