Several people were injured and others remain trapped after a bus overturned in east China's Zhejiang Province on Monday, according to local rescue workers.

A bus on the Ningbo-Taizhou-Wenzhou Highway ran off the road and fell on its side in a two-meter-deep pit near the city of Leqing around 8:10 p.m. Monday, trapping dozens of people inside, rescuers said.

Rescuers said eight or nine people were injured. The rescuers were working to pull more people out of the bus.
