Worst French bus disaster leaves dozens dead in Alps
A Belgian tourist bus careered down a steep mountain road near Vizille crushing through a parapet and plunging into the Romanche River. Police reported 41 to 44 dead with many others injured as rescue services battled to reach sunken remains. A priest, a woman, a girl and a young man reportedly fled the bus before it sank while two boys swam ashore. The crash occurred on a notorious Napolen Road descent near Grenoble amid rain swollen rivers. Authorities noted the cause was not yet known and rescue operations continued through the night as temperatures and conditions remained challenging.
