22 injured as pickup collides with tour bus
DODDRIDGE -- A tour bus and a pickup truck collided Saturday on a highway in southwest Arkansas, injuring 22 persons.
Authorities were unable to give details of the injuries. There were either 44 or 45 persons on the bus, state police said.
The northbound pickup swerved across the center line and hit the bus head-on, police said. The crash occurred on U.S. Highway 71, about 150 miles southwest of Little Rock and three miles north of the Louisiana state line.
The bus was carrying members of a church youth group who were returning to Baton Rouge, La., from a trip to Tulsa, Okla.
Both drivers were flown to hospitals.
The collision occurred less than two miles from the site where another tour bus collided with an oncoming car July 15, killing two persons.
