Four injured when Czech bus hits truck in Austria

Four people were injured when a Czech bus was involved in a collision with a truck in north-eastern Austria late on Friday evening, the news agency APA reported on Saturday.

A nine-year-old child was among those treated after the crash near the town of Bad Waltersdorf but none of the injuries were serious.

The truck was carrying liquid hydrogen cylinders, which fortunately did not explode. The Austrian police believe the accident occurred when the coach driver fell asleep at the wheel.
