Car going wrong way hits bus

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) ? A car going against traffic on an interstate collided head-on with a Greyhound bus early Saturday, killing one person and injuring 20 as frantic passengers were forced to exit through windows, police and witnesses said.

The car, driven by a young woman, was headed the wrong way on Interstate 85 at the time of the 3:05 a.m. crash, said police Lt. Mark Drinkard.

The bus was headed toward Columbus, Ga., and then to Atlanta.

The woman at the wheel of the car was killed, Drinkard said. Her name was not released.

He said 20 people were taken to hospitals for treatment of minor injuries.

Passengers said the bus driver did all he could to try to avoid the oncoming car.
