Beijing: Ten people, including five children, were killed and 10 others injured after a minibus fell into a mountain valley on Friday in south China.
The nine-seat minibus carrying 20 people plunged into the valley at around 6 am in the country's Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, while en route from the regional capital of Nanning to Dahua, a Yao ethnic county, state-run Xinhua news agency reported.
The injured have been admitted to a hospital where a three-month-old infant is in a critical condition, the spokesman said.
The infant's mother, 24-year-old Wei Yuefang, said she and her family were in the minibus heading for their home village of Bahaotun in Qibainong township to attend a wedding.
She said that she was carrying her sleeping daughter when the accident happened, adding that they were thrown out of the vehicle while it was falling into the valley.
"Passengers who were still conscious shouted for help.
Nearby villagers came and saved us," said Wei.
