Phuket Tourist Bus Plunges Into Ravine, Injuring Nine

A tourist bus in Phuket plunged about 20 metres into a ravine off Karon Hill on 1 February, injuring nine people—five men and four women from China, Germany, Russia, and Thailand. Emergency teams rushed them to Patong Hospital for treatment. According to preliminary dash-cam evidence, the driver, identified as 49-year-old Mr. Wira, lost control at high speed, veered off the road, destroyed the crash barrier, and tumbled into the ravine. Authorities continue to investigate the exact cause of the accident.
