2 dead, up to 15 injured in Wash. bus crash

CLE ELUM, Wash.

Shortly before 6 p.m. Saturday, officials said the bus hit a truck that was parked on the shoulder of Interstate 90 in Cle Elum, Wash., a city about 80 miles east of Seattle.

That's when the bus careened onto its side.

Moments later, a car trying to avoid the accident crossed into the center median and crashed.

Officials said the bus was carrying soccer fans from a game in Seattle and was headed to Moses Lake.

It was not clear what caused the bus to crash into the truck.

A man and a woman on the bus were killed, and a man who was standing by the disabled truck was seriously injured and taken by helicopter to a Seattle hospital.

As many as 14 others in the three vehicles were believed to have minor injuries, but officials were not able to provide an exact count.
