Seven dead as car crashes into Moscow bus-stop

Seven people were killed and three injured when a car slammed into a bus-stop in Moscow, police said.

A Toyota driver, 29, lost control of his vehicle at high speed and went over the curb. The car was travelling at nearly 200 km per hour when it spun out of control.

The driver was detained at the scene in an apparent state of intoxication, police said. He faces up to nine years in prison if convicted.

The man's driving license was suspended two years ago for speeding, police said. Earlier reports said all the seven dead were teenagers, three boys and four girls.
