BREAKING: Tour bus crashes in Phuket, 10 hurt

A tour bus has crashed in the Kamala area, near the Thavorn Beach Village, injuring at least 10 – four seriously – among the 37 Russian tourists aboard the bus.

The Anex Tour bus, being driven by Aroon Yemgeua, 46, was heading from Patong towards Kamala when it flipped, rolled off the road and down a hill, landing upside down in an entranceway below.

Rescue teams are on the scene. At least one other vehicle, a pick-up truck, was involved.

It is not clear at the moment how the accident happened. First reports indicate that the bus was on it way from Patong towards Kamala when it was hit by an overtaking pick-up truck coming in the opposite direction.

More details when we have them.
