Bus Crashes Into River After Angry Passenger Assaults The Driver

13 people were killed and two others remain missing after a bus crashed through a guardrail and into the Yangtze River in China. According to China Daily, the fatal accident was the result of a fight between the driver and an irate passenger. As the bus made its way through the streets of Chongqing, a woman, identified by only her last name, Liu, became irate after she missed her stop.

The 48-year-old woman stormed to the front of the bus and demanded that the driver stop and let her out. When he refused, Liu hit him over the head with her cellphone. The driver tried to fend off her attack, while still trying to drive the bus over a bridge. 

He was unable to maintain control and swerved onto the wrong side of the road, where he hit another car and then crashed through a guardrail and into the Yangtze River below. 

The bus plunged over 230 feet before crashing face down into the river, shattering every window. Authorities found 13 bodies in the river and said that two more people who were on the bus are still missing, though local officials believe they are dead.
