At least twenty people from an opera company were killed after a bus fell off a cliff in China early Tuesday, Chinese state media reported.
Another 13 were injured in the accident in Linzhou in the central province of Henan, the official Xinhua news agency said, citing the local government.
The coach was carrying staff of a local opera troupe, it said, adding the accident was under investigation.
Fatal road accidents are a serious problem in China, particularly involving the country s often over-crowded long-distance buses.
