A bus carrying 50 [[Poland|Polish]] people (47 [[w:Pilgrim|pilgrims]] and a three person crew) crashed today near [[w:Grenoble|Grenoble]] in [[France]]. According to police, there are 26 dead and 24 injured.

The Poles, many of them elderly, had been attending a pilgrimage at the nearby Notre-Dame de la Salette sanctuary. Emergency workers say the bus suffered a problem with its brakes while on a steep descent. It left the roadway and fell in a river below, where it burst into flames.
