A bus turned over on a downhill path of a village two hours ride from Qiyang County, killing nine people on the spot, and eight others died in hospital, said Chen Huanyu, director of the county publicity department.
The 30-seat bus was carrying 71 people when the accident happened. Initial investigation by the local traffic police shows the accident was caused by overloading and brake failure, according to Chen. A special investigation team, led by Deputy Province Governor Liu Liwei, is probing further into the accident. |
