Four people were seriously injured and 29 others sustained light injuries, according to a police statement.

Those injured were from eight nations, including 11 passengers from Britain.

Of the remaining injured, 13 are believed to be French, three from the United States, two from Spain, and one each from Australia, the Netherlands, Romania and Russia.
