Bulgaria bus crash leaves 13 dead

A bus has ploughed into a crowd of pedestrians in south-eastern Bulgaria, killing at least 13 people and injuring 20 others, officials have said.

Police said the driver appeared to lose control of the vehicle after its brakes failed while it travelled down a mountain pass near the town of Yambol.

The victims had been walking up the peak to attend a traditional Ascension Day feast and fair held on the summit.

At least four of the injured are in a very serious condition in hospital.
