Truck Collides With Bus in Spain, Killing 27
A bus carrying teenagers to a summer camp crashed head-on Thursday with a truck that crossed into its lane, killing at least 25 passengers and both drivers.
More than a dozen others were injured, several critically. The students, from two religious schools just outside Barcelona, were nearing their destination when the accident occurred on a hill near Soria, about 125 miles northeast of the capital, Madrid.
Bodies of the victims were strewn across the road and in a steep ditch where the bus had flipped, the officials said. It wasn't immediately known what caused the truck, which was hauling pigs, to cross over into the oncoming lane of traffic. Rescue workers collected the bodies in wooden coffins and brought them to a sports complex in Soria, where parents will identify them on Friday.
