Bus crash kills 13 in New York
A tour bus headed back from a casino slammed into a street pole on Saturday, killing at least 13 people in New York City.

New York Fire Department officials confirm 32 people were aboard a bus operated by Worldwide Tours when it was struck by a tractor trailer and slid sideways into a sign post along the New England Thruway on I-95.

The accident occurred at 5:30 am local time, and the driver survived.

The driver told authorities that the truck failed to stop after the accident.

1. From the longer description in the NYTimes...
it sounds like many people were decapitated. EEEK!

2. Awful - and a hit-and-run apparently
Hope they are able to catch the driver of the tractor-trailer that hit this bus (if that is indeed what happened).
