Czech bus passengers escape bus minutes before train collision

Passengers of a bus that stalled on a railway track
in the Czech Republic managed to evacuate the vehicle less than two
minutes before a train slammed into the bus, dragging it for some 30
metres, dpa reported.
Police said the bus had a flat tyre on the level crossing in the
city of Chrast, near Plzen. Ninety seconds after the passengers
evacuated, the Munich-bound train hit the bus.
Observers said it was a miracle that there were no serious
injuries in the incident. The bus driver and a train passenger who
was knocked over by the impact with the bus sustained minor injuries.
Train services on the route were stopped as crews cleared the
wreckage.
