HANNOVER, Germany — A tour bus caught fire on a highway near the northern German city of Hannover on Tuesday night, killing 20 people, after a passenger reportedly sneaked a cigarette, police said.

Survivors told authorities the fire broke out in the bathroom of the bus as it drove down the A2 highway after a person apparently smoked a cigarette there, police spokesman Stefan Wittke said.

Still, he said it was too early to rule out a mechanical problem with the bus as the cause of the blaze that also injured at least 13 people.
