At least two people have died and 33 others were injured after a bus crashed near a ski resort in the Pyrenees mountains in southern France.

A total of 47 people including the driver were on the bus when it crashed on Sunday night near the ski resort of Porte-Puymorens, the regional administration said. Seven people are in a critical condition.

Local authorities said a preliminary investigation showed the bus ran into a cliff, but the exact circumstances are not immediately clear.
