A bus overturned on a remote mountain road leading to Artux city in Xinjiang province, killing 17 people on the spot while another eight eventually succumbed to their injuries at the hospital. Most of the victims were Han Chinese high school students and some were from the Kirgiz ethnic minority. The cause of the accident is still under investigation but authorities do not suspect any foul play or terrorism involved. [Source]
