Two dead, 46 injured in Spain bus crash: Police

The bus carrying 55 people, mainly Moroccans, collided with the truck at around 3am (0100 GMT) near the town of Montoro in Cordoba province, a local police spokesman said.

The driver and another Spaniard were killed while four others were seriously injured. Another 42 passengers suffered light injuries.

The majority of the passengers were foreigners, including 31 Moroccans, two Singaporeans and one national each from Mauritania, Ecuador, the United States, Romania, the Ivory Coast and Colombia.

The bus was travelling from the port of Algeciras to Madrid.

The two drivers of the truck were standing at the side of the highway during the accident and were not hurt.

Thirteen students were killed and dozens more injured in Spain in March when the driver of their coach lost control and crashed into an oncoming car in the northeastern region of Catalonia as they returned from a festival.
