Spain Student Bus Crash 'kills 14'
At least 14 people have been killed after a bus carrying foreign students crashed on a Spanish motorway between the cities of Barcelona and Valencia. Most of the 57 people on board the bus were students on the Erasmus programme who were returning to Barcelona after a trip to a fireworks festival. Photographs from the scene show a white roofed coach lying on its side, surrounded by emergency vehicles. The accident occurred near Freginals, 150km (93 miles) south of Barcelona. The nationalities of those killed and injured have not been confirmed, nor has the cause of the accident. Jordi Jane, Catalonia's regional interior minister said: "There were students on board, many of them foreign students studying in Catalonia and in Barcelona who had travelled to Valencia for the Fallas and were returning." The driver of the bus survived the collision and had been taken to a local police station, Jane added. The authorities said those calling for further information about the bus crash from abroad should telephone +34 900400012. Source: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-35855850  · |

Re: Spain Student Bus Crash 'kills 14'
7 italian girls killed, they were all aged between 22 and 25 All those who lost their lives were sitting in windows seats, all the others survived thanks to seat belts. The most likely cause is human mistake/driver fallen asleep suddenly. Crazy thing to say, had this happeed in Italy it would have ended much worse for sure, since seat belts are NOT mandatory on the 99% of the buses circulating here.  · |
