Seoul, South Korea — A bus carrying Israeli tourists overturned on a rural road in central South Korea, local police told AFP Friday, leaving one person dead and dozens more injured. The bus carrying 33 Israeli tourists was traveling from the popular historic city of Gyeongju in the southeast to nearby Chungju when it flipped over late Thursday after taking a sharp turn, police said.“The steep road caused the bus to slide down as it was changing gears, and it appears the driver lost control and hit the nearby trees, which caused it to flip onto its side,” Chungju police told AFP.
Images in local media showed a coach with a broken windscreen lying on its side on a tree-lined road, with debris strewn around it.
