Driver has throat slashed in US bus crash
Taken from http://news.bbc.co.uk
A US Greyhound bus has crashed in central Tennessee, killing at least four people - reportedly after a passenger slit the driver's throat.
Hospital sources in Nashville quoted by CNN said 10 people died in the crash. But a spokeswoman for Greyhound, quoted by the Associated Press, put the death toll at four.
Greyhound has suspended all services nationwide as a precautionary measure, the spokeswoman said.
A passenger told Nashville's WTVF television that a man walked up to the front of the bus and slashed the driver's throat.
The bus then swerved off the road and crashed, she said, quoted by the Associated Press.
The crash occurred near Manchester, halfway between Nashville and Chattanooga, on Interstate 24.
The witness, identified as Carly Rinearson, said the alleged assailant, aged 30 to 35, had repeatedly approached her front seat in the bus and asked what time it was.
The man then asked if he could have her seat, and after she refused he attacked the driver.
