Six die when bus crashes into US tank
14/01/2005 - 14:40:35Six passengers were killed when an Iraqi bus collided with a US tank that was on patrol today.
The mini-bus had moved into the lane for oncoming traffic to try to pass a slow vehicle, said US Major Neal O’Brien.
The bus smashed into the front of the tank, as the tank driver tried to veer out of the way, O’Brien said.
The tank crew, which had been on patrol in Muqdadiyah, north of Baghdad, stopped to treat the eight wounded survivors, he added.
