A train has slammed into a bus carrying school students in southern Serbia, cutting it in half and killing five people, police say. Dozens of people were injured and two teenagers were fighting for their lives after the accident, which happened early on Friday near the city of Nis. Five people have been killed and more than two dozen injured after a train ploughed through a bus in southern Serbia, police said on Friday. The force of the impact tore the bus open and the death toll is likely to climb due to the compound injuries suffered by several passengers, RTS quoted a doctor in Nis as saying. The bus was carrying passengers from surrounding villages to Nis, local media reported. A video from the scene shows that the bus was practically cut in half from the impact while the train partly slid off the tracks.
