Three people have been killed and at least 13 others have been injured - three, seriously - in a head-on crash between a bus and a tractor-trailer on a highway in Pennsylvania's Pocono Mountain region. The two vehicles - one of which was an Italian tour bus - collided in the northbound lanes of Interstate 380, near the Mount Pocono exit, shortly after 10am on Wednesday, Monroe County authorities said.
