Xinhua, February 25, 2017 Adjust font size:

At least 10 people died and another 30 were injured on Friday due to an accident involving two buses in Argentina's northern province of Santa Fe, according to local authorities.

The accident happened along route 33, in the town of Perez, 15 km west of the city of Rosario.

Sebastián Carranza, spokesperson for the prosecutor-general of Rosario, which is investigating the crash, informed the press of the death count after two buses collided along the route between Rosario and Zavalla.

The investigation is under way to determine whether the accident happened when a bus had a tyre blowout or whether it was the result of a failed overtaking attempt. Endit
