13 Killed in Minibus Overturn in Zhejiang

Thirteen people were killed Wednesday after a minibus overturned and plunged into a reservoir in Jiangshan City, in east China's Zhejiang Province, local authorities said Thursday.

The vehicle, traditionally used for farming purposes, was overloaded with 25 farmers when it lost control on a mountainous section of road near the reservoir dam and slid into the reservoir.

Local government and the army are still carrying out round-the-clock rescue work and salvaging bodies from the reservoir.
