Bus crash leaves several injured

A part of the D8 highway from the Czech Republic to Germany on Sunday was blocked for five hours following a collision between a transport truck and a bus which left a number of travelers with light injuries. The worst were light cuts, a broken hand and a concussion. The accident took place shortly after 2 am. Thirty-four of the 45 passengers on the bus, members of a karate team returning from Germany, were sent to a hospital in Ústí nad Labem, to rule out internal injuries or bleeding. Only four people were kept in hospital for further treatment.
