Bush crash kills 22 Russians

At least 22 Russian tourists were killed and dozens of others were seriously injured after their bus plunged into a ravine yesterday near the popular Israeli Red Sea resort town of Eilat, officials said.

Television footage showed the blue bus overturned at the bottom of a desert ravine, debris strewn along the slope it rolled down from the road. Bodies in white bags were laid out in a row at the bottom of the ravine. The bus overtook another tour vehicle in a no-pass zone, lost control, then crashed through a guard rail into the ravine, said Rami Vazana, the driver of the bus that was overtaken.
