Five Chinese Tourists Killed in Minibus Accident on Bali
In a tragic incident on the Indonesian resort island of Bali, five Chinese tourists lost their lives when the minibus they were traveling in plunged into a shallow ravine. The accident also left eight others with minor injuries.
The group, consisting of 13 Chinese nationals, was journeying from Denpasar, Bali’s capital city, to the northern region of Buleleng. According to local police chief Widwan Sutadi, the minibus driver reportedly lost control of the vehicle while trying to avoid a collision with another car.

Emergency responders quickly transported the injured passengers to a nearby hospital. Despite medical efforts, five of the tourists were pronounced dead at the hospital. The driver sustained injuries but survived the accident.
Authorities are currently investigating the specifics of the crash to determine further details about the cause and to prevent similar tragedies in the future.
