Five Chinese tourists were killed and eight others injured after a rental minibus plunged into a ravine in Bali on Friday. The 13 Chinese nationals were traveling from Denpasar to the Buleleng region in northern Bali when the accident occurred, according to police head Widwan Sutadi.
The driver lost control of the vehicle and swerved left to crash into a tree to avoid a collision with another car, but the minibus was thrown off and plunged into a shallow ravine. Sutadi stated that due to the driver's lack of caution when turning and descending, he veered off the asphalt road and into a community garden, causing the accident.
The victims were taken to the nearest hospital, where five later died. The driver was injured but survived. The incident is under investigation.
