Two Chinese citizens were killed, 10 others injured after a passenger bus overturned in Russia’s Zabaikalsky region, the Chinese Consulate General in Irkutsk said on Saturday.
The Zabaikalsky regional government said earlier in the day that the accident occurred at around 2:40 p.m. local time (0540 GMT) when the bus driver lost control of the vehicle, causing it to veer off the road and overturn.
The consulate said the bus, carrying more than 40 Chinese citizens, was traveling from the Chinese city of Manzhouli to Chita, the regional capital of Zabaikalsky.
Following the accident, the consulate activated its emergency response mechanism and dispatched officials to the scene to coordinate with the Russian side on medical treatment for the injured and other arrangements. Enditem
