fatal bus crash in China

Shocking video footage shows a fist fight between a bus driver and a passenger in the final moments before the city bus plunged off a bridge, killing everyone on board.

The tragic bus crash occurred Oct. 28 in the Chongqing Municipality of China. Chongqing police released an eight-second video compilation from the interior of the bus and the dash cam of an oncoming car.

The video shows the bus veering into the wrong lane where it collided with a car before crashing through the bridge guardrail. The bus plunged 197 feet into the Yangtze River.

According to a statement from the Wanzhou district police, the 48-year-old female passenger asked the driver to pull over because she missed her stop, but the driver refused.

During the ensuing argument, the passenger hit the driver with her cell phone. The driver took his right hand off the wheel to fight back, as the bus veered out of control.

News footage shows rescue workers lifting the mangled bus from the river in southwestern China. 13 bodies have been recovered and 2 are still missing, according to the official Xinhua News Agency.
