Bus hit by landslide in Swiss Alps
The driver of a German tourist coach has been killed after a landslide hit his vehicle on a road in the Lower Engadine valley.
Police say the driver of another car escaped unharmed.
The coach was travelling without passengers on board and was scheduled to pick up a group of German tourists in the nearby Italian enclave of Livigno on Saturday.
The incident, which took place on a road linking the villages of Martina and Vinadi in southeastern Switzerland, came just two weeks after 28 people, mainly children from Belgium and the Netherlands, were killed in a coach crash in another alpine region.
