News_Editor Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Burma state media say a bus traveling from Rangoon to Mandalay skidded off a bridge, killing 11 people and injuring 16 others, including an American citizen. State newspapers reported on Sunday that the accident occurred Saturday when a tire on the bus blew, causing the vehicle to skid and plunge off the bridge into a stream below. They said the bus was carrying 27 people. The US Embassy in Rangoon confirmed an American was among the injured but gave no other details. The highway is notorious for accidents, mainly due to speeding and careless driving around its many sharp curves.—AP Source: Irrawaddy.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
