Ten people including five teenage students have been killed in a fiery bus crash in California.
On Thursday evening a lorry crossed a motorway median and struck the bus, engulfing both in flames and injuring as many as several dozen people.
The more than 40 students were on the way to Humboldt State University for a campus tour. Both drivers and three adult chaperones were killed.
The crash happened about 100 miles (160 kilometres) north of Sacramento.
“Our hearts go out to those who have been affected, and we are here to support them, and their families, in any way possible,” university president Rollin Richmond wrote in a statement following the accident.
Authorities were still working to identify which school districts the deceased students were from.
A rescue worker on the scene told local media up to 37 people had also received treatment for cuts and burns.
