STOCKHOLM, Feb 27 (Reuters) - Two passenger buses crashed near Uppsala in eastern Sweden on Tuesday, killing at least six people and seriously injuring nine, emergency services said.

The buses collided head-on in early-morning commuter traffic on a straight stretch of wintry road, Lars-Erik Falk at Uppsala emergency services said.

"A very large number are lightly injured," he said.

The cause of the crash and the number of passengers on the vehicles, both regional commuter buses, were not yet known, he said.
