Los Angeles, Oct 24 (IBNS): At least 13 people were killed as the bus, in which they were travelling, crashed into the back of a tractor-trailer in US city of Palm Springs, media reports said on Monday.

The incident left 31 others injured, reports said.

Federal and local investigators have started investigating into the cause of the mishap.
