Passenger bus overturned in C China
|
A bus overturned
on a highway and was hit by an oncoming truck in eastern China, killing at
least 12 people, officials said.
Associated Press reports another 24 people were injured Friday, including three in
serious condition, the government of Wuhu city in Anhui province said. The
crash was under investigation.
State broadcaster China Central Television said the bus
overturned into the opposite lane and was hit by the cargo truck.
It wasn't clear how many people were aboard the two
vehicles.
Photos circulating in the social media showed rescuers in
a rain on a wet road with the bus resting on its side.
Road
accidents in China are often caused by poor driving, inadequate maintenance,
overloading, and dangerous mountain roads. The number of motorists also has
been rapidly increasing, with the rise of the country's middle class.
