Six people were killed and 19 others injured after a landslide buried a passenger bus on a treacherous mountain pass in Vietnam. State media said the incident occurred late yesterday in Khanh Le pass, a landslide-prone mountainside popular with tourists. The landslide crushed the front of the bus, trapping many passengers. Rescuers struggled for hours to reach the scene as Heavy rainfall triggered additional landslides on both sides of the pass, cutting off access. Rescue teams were only able to reach the bus after midnight.
The bus was traveling between Ho Chi Minh City to the coastal city of Nha Trang, carrying 32 people. The injured were taken to a nearby hospital. State media said two of the dead bodies were still trapped under the debris as the treacherous terrain hindered the work.
