Zagreb - At least 13 people were killed and around 30 injured when a Slovakian bus crashed on a highway in Croatia, local media reported. The bus with 49 passengers swerved off the Zagreb-Split highway at Gospic and slammed into the concrete pillar of an overpass around 6 am.
All available rescue and medical teams, including airborne paramedic crews, were rushed to the scene, roughly halfway between the capital Zagreb and Split, the country's second largest city and major Adriatic port.
The driver was killed on the spot. Police were investigating.
