In Iceland, one person was killed and 12 critically injured after a bus carrying 46 Chinese tourists skidded off the road after a rear-end collision with a compact car yesterday. The car and bus crashed near the Eldhraun lava field about 250 kilometres east of Reykjavik, Iceland's capital.

Police say



the bus flipped on its side when it went off the road, trapping two passengers underneath. Three helicopters were used to transport the most severely injured to a hospital emergency room in the capital. A relief station was set up for the other 33 passengers in nearby Kirkjubaejarklaustur village.
