10 dead in California road accident

A delivery truck ploughed into a bus carrying American students in northern California, killing ten people and injuring at least 30, the California Highway Patrol said. The bus was one of three bringing high school students to tour Humboldt State University on Thursday, which is about a six-hour drive north of San Francisco. "My understanding is the FedEx truck crossed the highway divide, and it was a head on collision with our bus," Joyce Lopes, a university official said. The other two buses arrived safely. The university said the dead included the drivers of the two vehicles. The identities of the other victims were not immediately released, according to AFP.
