35 people die in separate bus crashes in China

Police in China say a total of 35 people have died in two bus crashes in China over the Lunar New Year weekend.

They say 25 passengers were killed on Sunday when their bus plunged off a road in the southern province of Hunan, while on Saturday, 10 died in a similar accident in a neighbouring region.

The crashes, which also injured 60 people, came in the middle of the New Year holiday, China's busiest travel week, during which hundreds of millions of people travel throughout China.
