Thai bus crash kills 30 people

A bus crash in northern Thailand has killed at least 30 people and injured 22 others, Thai authorities say. The fatal accident took place in Tak province on Monday night. Thai police said the bus was trying to overtake cars on a winding mountain road when it skidded and plunged into a ravine. The double-decker bus was carrying local government workers who were on a field trip. A child was also believed to be among the injured. The bus driver, who survived the accident with a broken rib, said his brakes had stopped working, Thai police said, according to BBC.
