Eight Dutch tourists were killed in a bus accident late yesterday near Barcelona and 42 people were injured, Dutch tour operator Sundio Group said.
The bus, carrying 65 passengers, shot off the road when exiting a highway and tipped over, Sundio said in a statement.
Some of the survivors were badly injured, and a spokesman for Dutch emergency assistance group SOS International group did not rule out the possibility the death toll might rise.
Most of the passengers were Dutch, a police official said. A car was also involved in the accident late yesterday, and its driver was injured.
