Rescue officials say a bus carrying Swedish students to a ski resort crashed Sunday in central Sweden, killing three people and injuring 19 others — six of them seriously. The 52 high school students were en route to a ski resort with seven adults, including the driver, when the accident occurred on a main highway south of Sveg, a small town 430 kilometres northwest of Stockholm. The cause of the accident was not immediately known but the road reportedly was icy when the accident occurred about 7 a.m. local time. Pictures showed the bus lying on its side in a ditch beside the highway. Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Lofven said the accident "leaves me and the whole country in sorrow."
