TOKYO (AP) — A bus has crashed into a dividing strip, overturned and caught fire on an expressway in central Japan, killing two people and injuring seven others. Police say the bus, traveling between downtown Nagoya and a nearby prefectural airport, apparently hit the divider just before leaving the expressway. The cause of the crash is under investigation.

Firefighters and police found two charred bodies, believed to belong to the driver and a passenger, inside the bus.
