Three men have died after their car was hit by a double decker coach on the M1 in Bedfordshire.
They were parked on the hard shoulder between junction 12 and 13 on the northbound section of the motorway when the crash happened at 6.45am, police said, according to The Independent Newspaper on Saturday.
