28 dead in tourist bus crash on Portugal's Madeira Island

An official on Portugal's Madeira Island said a tour bus crash Wednesday killed 28 people, most of them German tourists. Local mayor Filipe Sousa told cable news channel SIC the victims include 17 women and 11 men.

"I have no words to describe what happened. I cannot face the suffering of these people," Sousa told SIC.

He said the bus carrying 55 people rolled down a steep hillside Wednesday after veering off the road on a bend east of the capital, Funchal. According to national news agency Lusa, 22 were injured in the accident.
