Passengers safe In Bus Collision

Six passengers and a driver escaped serious injuries but a Burlington Trailways bus was badly damaged in a collision four miles west of Truckee on highway 40.

The California highway patrol said the bus crashed into an overturned oil truck owned by the Lang transportation company, and driven by Harold N. Roger. The bus, driven by Francis Eaton of San Francisco, rounded a curve and skidded into the truck a few minutes after the upset had occurred.

Passengers were transferred to a Greyhound coach and taken to Reno. Traffic was tied up more than 30 minutes.
