REYKJAVIK: Seven people were injured in Iceland on Tuesday when a bus carrying 41 tourists, mostly Chinese nationals, drove off a road in snowy conditions, authorities said.
“Fifteen passengers were transported to a hospital for treatment.
Two were severely injured and are in intensive care and five others have minor injuries,” an official at the Icelandic search and rescue services told AFP.
While most of the bus passengers are Chinese nationals, one Irish person and one Italian were also on board along with the Icelandic driver and two tour guides.
The rescue official said the accident occurred before 11:00 am (0900 GMT) on a road between the capital Reykjavik and the town of Skalafell because of “slippery roads and fog”.
