An overloaded minibus veered off the road in Tongzi County of
southwest China's Guizhou Province on Sunday morning, killing all
of nine people on board.
The seven-seat bus, registered in southwest Chongqing
Municipality, was returning to Chongqing when the accident
occurred.
Most of the passengers were Chongqing natives, said police. The
passengers were seven men and two women. The cause of the accident
is still under investigation.
The ice-plagued province was hit by overnight sleet on Sunday,
which made ice on the roads worse.
