Six dead, 29 injured in US bus crash

A charter bus carrying a US college baseball team from Ohio plunged off a motorway ramp today and slammed into the pavement below, killing six people and injuring 29, authorities said.

The bus, carrying the team from Bluffton University, a Mennonite-affiliated school south of Toledo, toppled off a bridge and onto a pickup truck on Interstate 75, a major motorway, police spokesman Joe Cobb said.
