At least 32 people have died after a tour bus carrying 44 people crashed in Taiwan.
Many others were injured when the vehicle turned over on a ramp near the capital, Taipei, trapping numerous passengers inside, according to Taiwan's Central News Agency.
A number of passengers were trapped under the crushed bus, and rescuers used a crane to pry the vehicle open.
Local TV station TVBS said 16 people were taken to hospital to be treated for injuries.
Officials said all those who died were Taiwanese.
A Taipei city official said: "It happened on a curve, so the bus flipped and that could be due to excess speed.
"The whole frame of the bus changed shape, got crushed and left no openings."
