Passengers hurt in bus crash

A bus carrying 48 Irish passengers rolled onto the roadside in southern France today, slightly injuring 13 people, officials said.

The bus, from a French transport company, rolled over for unknown reasons on a road in the Haute-Garonne region south of Toulouse, police said.

Some 40 rescue workers with about two dozen vehicles arrived on the scene, evacuating the 13 injured to two Toulouse hospitals.

The uninjured flew from Toulouse airport to home while the injured returned home a few hours later.

The passengers on the bus were aged six to 50, officials said.

An investigation into the accident was opened.
