Passenger bus flew into the river in Spain: there are dead and injured
A terrible accident occurred in the northwest of Spain. A passenger bus traveling over the bridge in the Galicia region of the country veered off the road and flew into the river.
While it is unknown why the passenger bus traveling between the cities of Lugo and Vigo went off the road, search and rescue efforts continue.
Authorities said most of the passengers could not be found.
The rescue work is difficult since the vehicle of the bus transport company Monbus crashes in the Lerez river. Although the authorities announced that so far only the bus driver and another passenger had been rescued, at least 3 people died and 4 people disappeared.
It was reported that the rescued people were taken to the hospital. The local authority Maica Larriba announced that 9 people were traveling in the vehicle, including the bus driver.
It has been said that the river waters have risen above average with the heavy rains of the last period.
