Las Vegas - More than 20 Britons remained in hospital in the United States last night after a bus full of tourists crashed, injuring all 41 people on board. They included a 72-year-old woman who had to have both arms amputated after the vehicle skidded across a two-lane highway.

The bus went off the road about 30 miles west of Tonopah in rural Nevada. It travelled across both lanes of traffic, went off the left side of the road, overturned and slid along on its side.
