A bus carrying high school students crashed on a mountain road in northern Greece Sunday, killing 21 people and injuring about 30 others, police said.

The bus went out of control after hitting a load of plywood that fell off a truck, police said.

Some of the injured were reported in serious condition. The bus was carrying 49 students and two teachers.

The students were returning to the northern Greek town of Makrohori after a field trip to Athens when the accident occurred along a main highway linking Athens with Thessaloniki.

No further details were available.
