Chinese die in Arizona bus crash

A bus carrying Chinese tourists has crashed on a highway in the US state of Arizona, killing at least seven people, US officials say.

They say at least nine people were injured - some seriously - when the bus overturned close to the Hoover Dam.

The Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS) said the injured had been transported to hospital by air and ground ambulances.

Local TV showed images of the tour bus lying on its side in the road.

DPS officials say the crash occurred at about 1600 local time (2300 GMT) on Friday as the bus travelled on Highway 93 - the main route between the cities of Phoenix and Las Vegas.

The vehicle veered left and then right across the road, before rolling at least once and finally stopping, DPS＇s Dean Nyhart said at a news conference in Phoenix.

He said up to 20 people could have been on the bus, as investigators were still trying to identify the victims.

Mr Nyhart said the passengers were Chinese nationals who had flown from Shanghai to San Francisco.

The cause of the crash is unclear.
