These accidents, which occurred between September 30 and October 7, killed altogether 794 people and led to direct economic losses worth 13.25 million yuan (US$2.1 million), which dropped by 46.2 percent and 37 percent, respectively, year-on-year.
In the most serious case during the period, 14 people were killed after two passenger coaches collided on an expressway in east China's Shandong Province yesterday.
