Six dead, 10 injured in US bus crash

At least six people were killed and 10 injured when a school bus carrying no children collided with a commuter bus Tuesday, in a catastrophic pre-dawn accident in the US city of Baltimore, police said. The yellow school bus crashed into a car before careening head-on into the side of the city bus, which was carrying morning commuters. "This was a major incident, some seasoned individuals in my organisation said they haven't seen this type of wreck in their career," Baltimore Fire Department Chief Niles Ford told a press conference.
Images and video from the scene showed the school bus's front end crumpled and lodged in the commuter bus's flank, which it ripped open. The accident killed the school bus driver and five more people on the city bus, said Baltimore Police media relations officer TJ Smith, who declined to give further details on the individuals. An additional 10 people were taken to area hospitals for injures which ranged "from minor to critical," Smith said.
