Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

At least 20 people, most believed to be school children, were killed and some 30 others were injured when a bus collided with a truck close to the north central city of Soria, Spanish national radio reported.

At least 20 people, most believed to be school children, were killed and some 30 others were injured when a bus collided with a truck close to the north central city of Soria, Spanish national radio reported.

The identities of the victims were not immediately known but a spokesman for Soria's firefighting department said it appeared the bus was carrying school-age children on an excursion from Barcelona.

The bus overturned after colliding with the truck which was reported to be carrying pigs, news reports said. The accident occurred shortly after 4 p.m. (1400 gmt) near the town of Golmayo, some 150 miles northeast of Madrid.
