A horrific crash in India’s northern state of Uttar Pradesh has left at least 33 dead. Officials said a packed bus attempted to cross an express track at about 2 a.m. Thursday as a train was approaching. The train struck the bus, killing dozens and leaving at least 17 injured. Pictures from the scene show little remaining of the bus.
