Nov 13 (Kyodo) - A mini bus carrying mentally disabled people tumbled off a road and dropped about five meters into a wooded area Monday morning in western Japan, leaving 18 people slightly injured, police said.
The accident took place around 10:10 a.m. in Izumisano, Osaka Prefecture, as the bus was heading to a nearby welfare facility. It was travelling on a road without a railing guard.
All of the 18 people on board, aged between their 20s and 60s and including the 67-year-old driver and a member of staff from the facility, were rescued from the bus, which rolled upside down.
