Drunk Moscow driver kills 7 kids

A drunken man racing at 200 kilometres (125 miles) per hour through Moscow traffic killed seven children on Saturday after slamming into a bus stop and dragging it a part of the way down the block.

The emergencies ministry said all the victims _ three boys and four girls _ were teenagers who were enjoying a day off school in a scenic western part of the city near its main film studio.

"According to preliminary information, the driver was under the influence of alcohol,'' a Moscow police spokesman told the Interfax news agency.
