More than 30 passengers, many of them students, have been hurt after their bus struck a bridge in Boston.
The bus, which was carrying 42 high school pupils and teachers from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, crashed into Western Avenue Bridge on Soldier's Field Road.
The students, who were members of the Destined for a Dream Foundation, a group which provides educational programmes for under-privileged children, had been returning home from a visit to Harvard University.

A spokesman for Massachusetts State Police said two others had been seriously hurt and had been taken to Brigham and Women's Hospital.
