Alpine crash bus 'was not speeding'

Swiss police said today that a tourist bus which crashed head-on into a concrete wall in a Swiss Alps tunnel, killing 28 people, was not speeding at the time.

Twenty-two school children and six adults including the driver were killed late last night as they returned to Belgium from a ski holiday in the Alps, police said. The crash, which sent another 24 children to hospital, left the front of the bus mangled, trapping some people inside.
