25 people hospitalized after a dramatic bus accident in a Spanish highway tunnel

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Emergency services in northeastern Spain say 25 people have been hospitalized, three of them in critical condition, after a dramatic bus accident at the mouth of a highway tunnel. The bus was carrying 50-60 textile workers. The bus appears to have hit the sloped edge as it was entering the tunnel and it was vaulted upward until its front came to a rest at the top. That left it propped diagonally across the entrance to the tunnel. Emergency authorities for the Catalonia region said two people were flown by helicopters to hospitals. A third critically injured person was evacuated in an ambulance. A further 22 people with injuries deemed serious were taken to nearby hospitals.
