“Eight people were transported to hospital. The rest of the people involved in the event were picked up by a bus provided by local authorities, and will be accommodated at a boarding house in the area,” an inspectorate official said.

The driver of the bus lost control of the steering wheel and entered the fence of a house, authorities said.
