As the investigation into Friday's deadly bus crash in Texas continues, authorities say they will be thorough before making a decision on further action and possible penalties.

The bus that crashed through a guardrail Friday morning in Sherman, Texas, was owned by Iguala Busmex, Incorporated.

17 people died and at least eight more are in critical condition.

Sunday the National Transportation Safety Board revealed they had linked two companies, Iguala Busmex and Angel Tours to the unlicensed bus and that both had received past unsatisfactory reviews.

Meanwhile, the Federal Motor Safety Administration has ordered those companies linked to the bus involved in the fatal Texas crash to cease all commercial operations.

The bus was carrying 55 Vietnamese Catholics to Marian Days in Carthage.
