New Mexico crash: At least seven dead after bus smashes into truck on busy highway

At least seven people have been killed and several injured after a bus smashed head on into a truck on a major road in the US.
One of the truck’s tyres is said to have blown, causing it to swerve into the Greyhound bus as it travelled in the opposite direction.
The incident happened at about midday local time on Interstate 40 in
New Mexico , near the Arizona border.
Most of the 49 passengers on the bus, which was travelling from Albuquerque to Phoenix, have been taken to hospital.
Injuries to the truck driver are not believed to be life threatening, police said.
Shocking images from the scene show a truck on its side, cargo scattered across the highway, and the Greyhound bus upright, its front end obliterated.
Passing motorists described a chaotic scene with passengers on the ground and people screaming.
Eric Huff was heading to the Grand Canyon with his girlfriend when they came across the crash.
He said the truck’s trailer was "shredded to pieces" and the front of the Greyhound bus was smashed, with many of the seats pressed together.
"It was an awe-inspiring terrible scene," he said
Truck driver Santos Soto III said: "I'm a pretty strong person and I broke down and cried for at least 30 minutes.”
"We are fully cooperating with local authorities and will also complete an investigation of our own," a Greyhound spokeswoman said in a statement.

Jurgen Klopp storms onto pitch and rages at Liverpool star after Chelsea lows

Jurgen Klopp made a beeline for summer signing Xherdan Shaqiri and gave him some animated feedback on his performance in Liverpool’s defeat to Chelsea on Wednesday evening. The Reds took a second-half lead at Anfield in the Carabao Cup through Daniel Sturridge, but were stung late on by a tap-in from full-back Emerson before Eden Hazard scored an incredible solo goal to put the visitors into the next round. At full-time, Klopp exchanged pleasantries with Maurizio Sarri and the Chelsea bench, but then walked onto the pitch to seek out Shaqiri. The Swiss star had a rather frustrating evening, wasting a number of chances on the break as Chelsea pushed for an equaliser, and Klopp seemed furious with his winger.
