Snowy weather in Europe is being blamed for separate bus crashes that have killed four people and injured another 76.

Police in Zurich, Switzerland, say a tour bus traveling from Geneva to Duesseldorf, Germany, skidded on a snowy road and slammed into a wall about 4:15 a.m. Sunday, according to the Associated Press.

One woman, whose identity was not immediately released, was killed, police said, and 44 others were injured. Three of those people, including the driver, have serious injuries.

Also early Sunday, a bus skidded off the road and overturned in southern Serbia, killing three people and injuring 32 others, police said.

The accident happened on the main highway in southern Serbia near the town of Leskovac. Police said the bus had Macedonian license plates and local media reported it was heading toward Austria from Macedonia.

Doctors at the hospital in Leskovac say four of those hurt in the crash have serious injuries but they are not life-threatening.

Serbia and neighboring countries have been blanketed with snow in the past few days, which has slowed traffic, disrupted power supplies and blocked access to some remote villages.
