Updated: 2009-05-19 16:16 KUNMING - At least one person died and 28 others were injured after their bus overturned in southwest China's Yunnan Province Monday, the local government said Tuesday. A 30-seat bus carrying 29 people overturned at a section of the Kunchu Expressway in Chuxiong Yi Autonomous Prefecture at 1:45 pm Monday, the government of Chuxiong said. One passenger was declared dead at the scene.
At the same section of the highway on April 25, a collision killed 21 people and injured 20 others. "The site of the accident is a 3.5-kilometer slope with a big turn, and drivers spray water on the wheels to reduce the heat, but the practice makes the road surface slippery," said Bai Yong, a veteran local driver. The section of the expressway was closed immediately after the accident and reopened to traffic at about 5 pm Monday. The bus belonged to Dali Traffic and Transportation Co. Traffic police are investigating the accident. |
