At least 34 people have been killed and 20 injured after a bus ploughed off a bridge into a river in central Vietnam.
The bus was travelling from Buon Ma Thuot city in the central highlands to southern Ho Chi Minh City when it went off the bridge between Daklak and Dak Nong provinces last night.
The wreckage of the bus was raised from the Serepok river bed early this morning.
A total of 54 people, including the driver, were believed to be on the bus.
Road accidents in Vietnam kill about 35 people every day.
Narrow highways, poorly maintained vehicles and drivers' disregard for road safety and traffic rules are blamed for most fatalities.
