(CNN) At least seven people were killed in northwestern New Mexico when a tractor-trailer crashed head-on with a nearly packed Greyhound bus, officials said. "We do expect that number to rise," New Mexico State Police spokesman Officer Ray Wilson said on Thursday. Dozens of passengers were seen trying to climb out of the windows of the bus while some bystanders walked among piles of debris carrying ladders. The driver of the truck sustained injuries that were not life-threatening, the state police said. In a statement, the New Mexico State police said their identities would not be released until their next of kin were notified.
