A bus carrying 32 members of a church group hit a concrete bridge at Miami International Airport killing two elderly people on board and leaving three others critically injured, officials said on Saturday.

It is thought the driver got lost and used the wrong entrance which had too low a clearance.

Osvaldo Lopez, an officer with the Miami-Dade Aviation Department, described the scene on his arrival: "It wasn't chaotic at all, it was just very bloody."

Lopez was himself injured helping the passengers, with his left arm and a finger requiring bandages.
