(VOV) – At least six people died after a bus carrying more than 30 passengers crashed into a mountain side and plunged into a ravine in Khanh Hoa province.
The accident happened at around 10.00am on June 7 when the bus was travelling from the Central Highland resort city of Da Lat to Nha Trang city.
The driver was said to lose control of the vehicle, crashing into a mountain side and falling into the nearby ravine of the Hon Giao pass.
“There were no other vehicles at the scene when the accident occured,” said Le Quang Thanh, a local police officer.
Five passengers died inside the car. Rescuers pulled more than 20 others from the wreckage, many of them seriously injured.
A doctor at Khanh Vinh District Medical Centre said they had received 15-16 injured passengers, including one death.
Hon Giao is one of Vietnam’s highest and longest passes, linking Khanh Hoa province and Da Lat city. It is a beautiful, but perilous pass due to thick fog.
