Coach carrying foreign students crashes in Spain, killing 13

 Thirteen students were killed and dozens more injured in Spain Sunday when the driver of their coach lost control and crashed into an oncoming car as they returned from a festival, AFP reports.

The bus was carrying students aged between 20 and 32 - many on a European exchange programme in the northeastern region of Catalonia - from some 20 countries including the UK, the Netherlands, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Switzerland, Norway and Sweden but also Japan and Peru.

Six of the more than 30 injured were in a critical condition in hospital. All the fatalities were female, according to Jordi Jane, who heads up interior matters for Catalonia, but authorities have yet to announce their nationalities. A spokeswoman for the Italian foreign ministry, however, said there may be Italian nationals among the victims.

There was one Bulgarian citizen among the injured, as well.
