Swiss bus crash kills 28, including 22 children

GENEVA (AP) — A tour bus slammed into a tunnel wall in the Swiss Alps in an accident that killed 22 school children and six adults returning to Belgium from a ski vacation, police said today. Another 24 students were hospitalized, police spokesman Jean-Marie Bornet told The Associated Press, after one of the deadliest highway accidents in Swiss history left the front of the bus mangled, trapping some people inside. The police chief described a “scene like a war.”
