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.

The mishap reportedly occurred at 5:17 a.m. local time on Sunday in Desert Hot Springs.

The bus was returning to Los Angeles from a casino located close to Salton Sea.
