The incident is France's worst road accident since 1982
At least 42 people have been killed in a collision between a
bus and truck near the southwestern town of Libourne. The bus caught fire in
the Friday morning crash that also left the driver of the truck dead.
Images shown on French television showed the coach as a
charred shell that had been entirely burned. Five surviving passengers were
brought to hospital with injuries while three others were unharmed, local
authorities said.
The interior ministry said the bus was carrying elderly from
a nearby village going on excursion.
