Police say badly burned bodies have been pulled from the wreckage of a bus that was conveying school children which crashed and caught fire killing more than a dozen.

 
A bus carrying schoolchildren has crashed and burst into flames in Italy killing 16 people, mainly Hungarian teenagers.

The school students were returning home from a mountain holiday in France, when the bus crashed into the side of a highway near Verona.

Thirty-nine people survived but 10 of those are badly burned in hospital.

Police commander Girolamo Lacquaniti said the bus crashed and burst into flames just before midnight.

Italian news agency Ansa said a number of pupils were thrown out of the vehicle when it collided with a pylon.

No other vehicles were involved and it was not clear why the bus went off the road, crashing into the barriers.
 
 
The bus was returning to Budapest with students, mainly boys, ages 15 to 17.

Police say 16 badly burned bodies have been pulled from the wreckage.

In Budapest, the foreign ministry said official information was that there were 54 passengers, including adults accompanying the students, and two drivers aboard, but they believe the actual number was higher - for reasons yet to be determined.

'One passenger is currently in an induced coma and in life-threatening condition,' Hungarian Foreign Minister Szijjarto told reporters in Budapest.

According to Szijjarto, the bus driver lost control of the vehicle, which hit a guard rail and then the overpass support before catching fire.

Investigators have found no brake marks at the scene, he said.
 
 
RAI state radio said a Slovenian truck driver who was traveling behind the bus had noticed a problem with one of the bus wheels and tried to alert the driver.

But the driver didn't react quickly enough, RAI said. The truck driver stayed at the scene trying to help until investigators arrived, RAI said.

On Saturday morning friends and relatives of the schoolchildren arrived outside the Szinyei Merse Pal high school in Budapest.

They placed flowers and candles outside the building.
