A BUS crash that left 19 people dead and seven injured in central China's Henan Province was caused by speeding, a preliminary police investigation has found.
"We found the 29-year-old driver, Wu Jianchao, was to blame for causing the accident, but he is among the 19 dead," said Wang Hao, a police spokesman in the provincial capital of Zhengzhou.
Police have detained the owner of the bus, Shang Yajun, and Liu Shuli, the manager of the transportation company, pending further investigation.
Four of those injured were in a serious condition, said a statement issued by the State Administration of Work Safety yesterday.
The accident occurred on Sunday afternoon on a highway. The bus plunged off the slippery road into a reservoir.
