Two dead after buses race for passengers

Two people were killed and 21 injured after a bus crashed into a Cali home Friday. The driver had been racing a competitor to be the first to pick up passengers.

The driver lost control of the steering wheel and crashed his packed bus into a home on the corner of calle 29 in the Poblado neighborhood.

Two of the passengers died. 21 passengers were taken to hospital for treatment.
