By press time, all of the injured, including four seriously wounded, have been receiving medical treatment at the No. 1 People's Hospital of Huainan City, according to the police.

The bus driver said it drizzled when he was approaching Xielidajing, where there was a U-turn and the road became very muddy and slippery. The overturn happened after he attempted to give way to a truck which was coming in the opposite direction but failed to control the steering.

The exact number of the passengers on the bus is unknown.

Cause of the accident is under further investigation.
