A tragic bus crash in northern China has left 14 people dead and 37 others injured, according to state media reports. The accident occurred on the Hohhot-Beihai Expressway in the city of Linfen in Shanxi province, when the bus carrying 51 passengers crashed into a tunnel wall. The cause of the accident is still unknown, but reports suggest that passengers were trapped inside the bus following the crash.
This is not the first deadly bus accident to occur in China recently. Just last week, one person was killed and 37 others were injured when a long-distance bus rear-ended a local bus that had stopped on the roadside in Tianjin. Both buses were engulfed in flames as a result of the collision, as shown in videos posted by a local television station.
The frequency of bus accidents in China highlights the importance of improving road safety measures and regulations to prevent such tragic incidents from occurring in the future. The authorities are expected to conduct a thorough investigation into the cause of the latest bus crash in Linfen, in order to determine what steps can be taken to prevent similar accidents from happening. Our thoughts are with the victims and their families during this difficult time.
