Thirty-two mainland tourists hurt as their bus rolls down Macau road into Chinese medicine shop
Investigators believe driver left the vehicle stationary on road without engaging handbrake; three tourists suffered serious injuries
Thirty-two tourists from the mainland, including several children, were injured when the tourist bus they were in rolled down a road and ploughed into a Chinese medicine shop in Macau on Monday afternoon.
Three women suffered serious injuries and were feeling dizzy after the crash happened shortly before 3pm, according to Macau’s fire department.
Initial investigations showed the bus stopped on a sloping road - Rua da Entena - near Kiang Wu Hospital, the department spokesman said.
It is understood the driver was not on board the vehicle at the time of the incident and its handbrake had not been engaged when he left the vehicle.
“Initial investigations showed the vehicle rolled forward, mounted the pavement and rammed into the Chinese medicine store,” the spokesman said.
