Latest:

In bus was 38 passengers, driver, and travel guide. Count is now sure, after they removed those rolls inside that bus.

23 passengers, driver, and guide died immediately, and 1 passenger later.

(chills), this is awful news, the death toll is around the same from the one in Hong Kong earlier this year (23 dead including driver), except the bus was carrying 230 passengers when it collided with a truck, and fell off a bridge.

Some unclarity in news, i think.

Now all passengers has been identified, and maybe tomorrow they will publish namelist of bus accident victims.

Totally 23 died, and 15 injured. Those earlier numbers was also from news, but there must be some missunderstanding.

They almost redid the accident yesterday..
A driver got a health problem and fainted. The bus drove some three hundred meters in middle of a field (not on a road) and stopped 25m away from a river. If the boy didn't stop the bus, people would've drowned.

I think that there is some overreacting in news before that nightmare. That river isn't very wide, about as wide as normal 2-laned road, i think (i checked it from few different scaled maps), so i think that it's not deep.

But still it's good thing that accident didn't happened. Buses are quite unsafe places when they hit to somewhere anyway. Passengers doesn't have seatbelts and even they have, 99% doesn't use them (i use those allways when i'm in truck or bus, if there is possibility to that).

But anyway, concratulations to hero, who stopped that bus. :)
