A passenger bus plunged off a bridge onto a frozen river in Siberia on Sunday, killing 19 of the more than 40 people on board, authorities said.
A tyre on the bus burst as it was crossing the bridge over the Kuenga river in eastern Siberia’s Zabaikalsky region.
The vehicle, which was travelling from Sretensk to Chita and carried 40 passengers, skidded off the road and onto the ice.
“Nineteen people died and 21 received various injuries,” the office of the governor of the Zabaikalsky region said in a statement.
Two preschool-aged children were reportedly among the dead.
