SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A woman was killed, her husband critically injured and nine other people had less serious injuries when a party bus ran head-on into a small car that was stopped on a highway south of San Francisco, authorities said.
The 36-year-old woman wasn't named but she was the wife of 43-year-old Raul Padilla, who was driving the red Honda that appeared to have slammed into a center divider on U.S. 101 before coming to rest facing oncoming traffic, California Highway Patrol Officer Art Montiel said.
After the Honda stopped, the party bus carrying 18 people hit the car. Two other cars were also involved in the wreck, but no one from either was hurt.
"We're still trying to figure out who came into contact with what," Montiel said.
