Bus in Haiti flees accident, kills 34

A bus speeding away from the scene of a hit-and-run accident plowed into dozens of street musicians in the Haitian city of Gonaives on Sunday, killing a total of 34 people, officials said.
Fifteen people also were injured in the incident in Gonaives, a city of some 300,000 people located about 150 kilometers (90 miles) north-west of the capital Port-au-Prince.
"First, the bus plowed into two pedestrians, killing one of them, and injuring the other," Marie-Alta Jean Baptiste, head of Haiti's civil protection office, told AFP.
The driver then rammed into three groups of street musicians as he tried to speed away, leaving 33 of them dead in a scene of ghastly carnage.
