NANNING, CHINA (BNO NEWS) -- At least seven people lost their lives after a minibus in southwestern China plunged into a ravine, officials said Wednesday.

The accident occurred at around 2:35 p.m. local time in Liucheng County, located in China's southwestern Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, local authorities told state-run Xinhua news agency.

According to initial investigations, the driver of the 18-seat minibus, which was overloaded with 26 passengers, stopped to avoid an oncoming vehicle. The bus began sliding backwards on the road of a slopping mountain and ended up rolling down a 54-meter (177-foot) deep ravine.

Six passengers died at the scene while 13 others were injured. A child that was critically injured and transported to a hospital later died. Among the 26 passengers were three children, including the fatal victim.
