Ten passengers have been killed, including two children, after a tour bus crashed in central Vietnam, authorities said, in the latest mass casualty accident after dozens were killed last weekend when a boat sank in the country’s top tourist site of Ha Long Bay.
The overnight sleeper bus was travelling on a national highway from the capital Hanoi to the central city of Da Nang when it veered off the road in the province of Ha Tinh on Friday, hitting roadside markers and overturning, authorities said in a statement.
The crash killed 10 people, including two children, all of whom were Vietnamese. Another 12 people were injured and taken to hospital with multiple injuries.
