Two dead, 14 hurt in bus crash near French ski resort

Seven people were taken to hospital.

Local authorities said a preliminary investigation showed the bus ran into a cliff, but the exact circumstances were not immediately clear.

Images released by the local firefighter service showed the bus pressed against the side of a cliff, its right side partially crushed and windshield apparently knocked out.

More than 120 individuals were involved in the rescue effort, including from neighbouring Catalonia in Spain and Andorra. Helicopters were also deployed.

Catalonia's emergency services said the bus originated from L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, outside Barcelona, Spain.
