More than 42 pensioners on a day trip have been killed after their bus collided with a truck and burst into flames in south-western France.

The collision happened near Puisseguin in the Gironde wine region, east of Bordeaux, shortly after the bus had set off from a neighbouring town.

The French president said he had been "plunged into sadness by the tragedy".

This is the worst French road disaster since 1982, when 52 people died.

Prime Minister Manuel Valls has arrived at the scene.
