At least three people died and four were missing after a bus careened off a bridge and plunged into a river in Spain on Sunday.
Two survivors - the vehicle’s driver and a passenger - have been rescued so far from the river Lerez, where a strong current and high flow due to heavy rains sweeping the Galicia region were hampering search-and-rescue efforts, authorities said. The survivors were taken to nearby hospitals with varying degrees of injury. The coach from the company Monbus was travelling between the cities of Lugo and Vigo and had stopped at a penitentiary centre near the site of the accident.
