Nineteen dead including two children and 21 injured as a bus skids off a Siberian bridge and plunges 22ft onto a frozen river
Nineteen people including two small children were killed when a bus veered over the side of a bridge and overturned onto a frozen river in Russia today. A total of 43 passengers and the driver were on the bus when it careered 22ft into the Kuenga River in Transbaikal region of Siberia, 3,930 miles east of Moscow. A further 21 people were injured in the incident and had to be cut out of the vehicle as it came to rest upside down on the thick ice. Horrific pictures and video show the scene of the crash as frantic rescue efforts continued after dark on Sunday. Footage of the scene from the following morning shows blood-stained snow as the bus lies torn apart underneath the bridge. 'The bus was en route from Sretensk to Chita. It veered off the road and overturned some 60 km (37 miles) from Sretensk,' said an emergencies ministry spokesman. The river was shallow and its entire depth was frozen so it did not sink beneath the ice. One theory is that the Kia Grandbird bus suffered a burst tyre, another that it skidded on the bridge. Source
