50 killed in bus accident
Around 50 people died in Haiti on Sunday when a bus tried to cross a river swollen with rain from Tropical Storm Fay and was swept away, witnesses said.
Two dozen survivors were pulled alive out of the raging waters of the Riviere Glace in the southwestern province of Grand-Anse, said mayor Oreste Andre of the town of Bomont, where the accident occurred.
