The bus fell 20 metres down an embankment onto stones, where access is very difficult. Firefighters say many passengers climbed back up to the road by themselves. Bombers chief inspector Santi Lleonart said inspections so far had been superficial and had not reached the side of the bus resting on the stones, so the count is not settled.

The latest count is 83 people hurt, though earlier counts varied. Olga Pané's breakdown: 7 seriously injured, 18 less seriously and 58 mildly.

Olga Pané could not rule out a fatality among people not yet located, though she considered it unlikely. The search continues around Fogars de Montclús, and Lleonart hoped to confirm the situation on Monday.
