Several children killed in preschool bus accident in southeastern China

Eight people, including several children, have died in a car accident in southeastern China after a preschool bus veered off the road and into a pond, state media reported.

The accident occurred in Pengze, southeast China, in a rural area with many small rivers and streams. According to reports, the roads were slippery after several days of rain. The minibus was being used to transport young children to a kindergarten in the area.

In absolute terms, traffic in China is the most dangerous in the world, with approximately 250,000 deaths in traffic accidents annually - almost 700 deaths every day - according to a compilation by the World Health Organization (WHO).
