NEW JERSEY (Dispatches) - Two commuter buses collided in New Jersey’s largest city Friday morning, pushing one of the vehicles onto its side, killing one of the drivers and critically injuring seven other people, authorities said.
The person killed in the Newark crash was the driver of a New Jersey Transit bus that had no passengers when it slammed into the side of another NJ Transit bus that was carrying about 20 passengers around 6 a.m. Mayor Ras Baraka said 19 people were injured, including seven critically.

ALABAMA (Reuters) - Five people were killed in rural Citronelle, Alabama, and a suspect was arrested across the border in Mississippi, police said on Saturday.
The Mobile County Sheriff's Office said on Twitter that a suspect was taken into custody in Greene County, Mississippi, but did not immediately identify the person. Greene County is about 10 miles (16 km) west of where the bodies were discovered.
The suspect walked into the Greene County Sheriff's Office and confessed to the killings, Alabama Media Group reported on its website AL.com, citing a sheriff's official.
Alabama Media Group also said that one of the five people killed was believed to be a pregnant woman and that the bodies were discovered in a home.
The victims were all adults, according to reports, with multiple weapons including a gun used in the murders. An infant was found unharmed in the home.

ANKARA (Reuters) - U.S. Justice and State Department officials will fly to Ankara to discuss government accusations against Fethullah Gulen, the exiled cleric Turkey accuses of masterminding a failed military coup, according to a Justice Department official.
President Tayyip Erdogan has demanded the United States extradite Gulen, who lives in Pennsylvania, over the July putsch in which more than 200 people, including civilians, were killed. Turkish officials have suggested refusal to repatriate Gulen for trial would seriously strain ties between the two NATO allies.
Gulen, described by Erdogan as a terrorist, denies any involvement in the coup attempt, which has led to large-scale purges of the military, civil service, judiciary and academia.

BERLIN (Reuters) - Germany has tightened border controls with southern neighbor Switzerland to choke off a flow of illegal immigrants, Swiss Finance Minister Ueli Maurer said, calling it evidence that Germany has withdrawn its welcome mat for migrants.
Germany's interior ministry confirmed border staffing had been reinforced.
More than a million people fleeing war and poverty in the Middle East, Africa and elsewhere arrived in Germany last year. The mood towards them has soured after a spate of attacks on civilians last month, including three carried out by migrants.
Switzerland itself has cracked down on migrants -- many of them African -- trying to enter from southern neighbor Italy after crossing the Mediterranean. Humanitarian groups are scrutinizing if the stance violates human rights conventions, which Swiss officials insist they will safeguard.
