Officials punished over coach with 111 people
SIX officials in Taoyuan County of central China's Hunan Province have been given disciplinary demerits after a coach with 39 seats was found to be carrying 111 passengers, local authorities said Friday.
The coach, heading to Jiangmen City in the neighboring Guangdong Province, was discovered to have 111 passengers, including 22 students and children on July 4, said a statement issued by the provincial safety production commission office.
Six officials in the county traffic police department and traffic bureau were given administrative demerits or serious warnings according to the disciplinary rules of the Communist Party of China.
Coach driver Kang Lihui had his driver's licence revoked, received a life ban from the transport business and was fined 2,000 yuan (US$316).
A string of fatal road accidents involving overloading have occurred in recent years in China.
In November 2011, 22 people, including 20 preschoolers, died when a school bus, a nine-seat van illegally converted to hold 64 people, hit a coal truck.
