At least thirteen people have been killed and two more are missing
At least XNUMX people have been killed and two more are missing in China after a bus crash that went out of control and fell into a river.
As recorded by the safety circuit, seconds before the fall, the driver was caught in the arms with a passenger.
The bus fell from a bridge, at a height of 50 meters, into the Yangtze River.
According to the first reports, the bus had made a maneuver to avoid another vehicle. However, the visual material overturns those scenarios and shows that the driver was hit by a passenger and then retaliated.
Then the bus appears to cross in the opposite direction and fall on the bridge guards.
According to the BBC, which cites the Police, the cause of the accident is this quarrel. In the video, which was released by Chinese media, passengers are heard screaming.
Police said the passenger who was fighting with the driver was a 48-year-old woman, who was outraged because the bus overtook her stop. When the driver refused to stop and let her get off, she hit him with her cell phone.
The bus was pulled from the river, from a depth of 71 meters, on Wednesday night. Many bodies of passengers had to be retrieved by divers.
