FRESNO, Calif. (AP) - The California Highway Patrol says a sixth
person has died in a bus crash in California's Central Valley.

CHP Officer Michelle Sigmond said the person was pronounced dead
at Fresno Community Regional Medical Center. Five people died at
the scene of the crash just outside downtown Fresno.

The Greyhound bus carrying 35 people was traveling to Sacramento
from Los Angeles when the driver swerved to avoid another crash
involving an overturned minivan and slammed into the concrete
center divider and then hit another vehicle and a tree at about
2:14 a.m.

Early reports say there are multiple injuries, but Sigmond did
not know exactly know how many. She said at least some of the
injured passengers are being taken to Fresno Community Regional
Medical Center.
