HSINCHU, Taiwan, July 7 (Xinhua) -- A tour bus carrying 38 mainlanders, one Taiwanese guide and a local driver overturned at noon on Saturday in northern Taiwan's Hsinchu city, killing the driver and injuring 39 others, four of them seriously.

All the injured were sent to hospitals in Hsinchu and adjacent Miaoli county for treatment. Among the four severely injured, all women, one lost four fingers from her right hand, one injured her cervical vertebra, one fractured a bone in her hand, and another got face lacerations. They are being treated and their wounds are not life threatening, according to rescuers and doctors.

Most of the injured sustained only slight injuries, mainly abrasions.

The tour bus was on its way from Taipei to Taichung where sightseeing at scenic spots including the Sun and Moon Lake was scheduled, when it overturned, the result -- it is thought -- of a burst rear-left tire.

The driver was crushed to death under the bus.

Local police said the cause of the crash is still being investigated. The bus was bought within the last three years and had recently passed a vehicle inspection.

Damn
And yeah the driver was pretty much doomed looking at the frontal damage.

Double wheel rear axle, one burst tyre should not have caused the driver to lose control, plus the driver kept over correcting the over steer, but thats easey to say sitting in your armchair watching the video.

There's some sort of road bump and right after that it starts to swerve.
damn, one missing 4 fingers

Maybe if he fucking slowed down instead of constantly trying to correct the steering?
