The bus, which was traveling from Cap Haitien to the capital Port-au-Prince, initially hit two people in a town outside Gonaives in northern Haiti, killing one, said Joseph Faustin, civil protection head in the Artibonite department. The bus driver then fled and crashed into three "rara" parades in Mapou, about 5 km (3 miles) away, Faustin said. The driver and passengers on the bus were taken to the police station, said Patrick Cherilus, a Civil Protection spokesman for Artibonite. They have since been released and the bus driver has fled, said Jean Bazlais Bornelus, the police chief for the area. He added "Any of the fighters who are left in Mosul, they're going to die there, because they're trapped.
