Runaway coach kills 16 in Bulgaria

At least 16 people died when an out-of-control bus ploughed into a religious festival in Bulgaria today.

Police said the coach, which was carrying 19 elderly people from a local care home, could not stop as it came down a mountain pass, hitting a crowd of people climbing to the peak on their way to attend a traditional Ascension Day feast near the city of Yambol, around 160 miles from the capital Sofia.
