Russian police have arrested the hospitalised driver of a truck that
smashed into a packed passenger bus outside Moscow, killing 18 people
and injuring dozens more.
Most of the injuries are understood to be severe as the truck was
carrying gravel, which poured onto the passengers in the bus after
the accident occurred on Saturday.
According to a Moscow police statement, the driver has been placed
under arrest for 48 hours and is being interrogated.
The driver - who has no Russian licence - is reported to be an Armenian
citizen and investigators have opened a criminal probe against him
for causing multiple deaths through violating traffic rules, which
carries a maximum of seven years in prison.
He was brought out of an artificial coma in which he had been placed
for a day after the crash and is being interrogated by investigators
from his hospital bed.
Saturday's accident is one of Moscow's worst-ever road tragedies.
