March 11 (UPI) -- At least six people were confirmed killed and several were injured after a fire tore through a bus in a town in western Switzerland.
At least three people were taken to a hospital after the incident, which took place at around 6.25 p.m. on Tuesday in Kerzers, around 12 miles west of Bern, police said.
An investigation into the cause was underway, including looking into reports the blaze was started by a passenger dousing himself in gasoline and setting himself on fire, although police and authorities in the canton of Fribourg said they did not believe it was an attack or terrorism.
"At the moment, no element highlights" a terrorist act, Fribourg Police communications head Martial Pugin told Swiss breakfast radio on Wednesday.
