A bus fell into a lake at the Hongshan reservoir in the city of Anshun in southwest China's Guizhou Province on Tuesday, killing at least 21 people, according to local media. Fifteen others have been injured as of late afternoon and transferred to a hospital.
Among the 36 people that have been found, four are students and one of them has been confirmed dead. It's not yet known if the students were taking China's national college entrance examination, which kicked off on Tuesday morning. The incident happened at around 11:45 a.m. on Tuesday when the bus smashed through a guardrail and slid down the reservoir, video footage showed.
The bus has been dragged out of the lake. It's not immediately clear what caused the incident and how many were on board the bus. Rescue operations are underway and a working team from the Ministry of Public Security has headed to the scene.
