BEIJING - A bus collided with a van and plunged off a road into a river in central China, killing at least 13 people and injuring 10, a state news agency said Saturday.

The bus fell 50 feet into the river Friday in Hunan province, the Xinhua News Agency reported. It was bound from Shenzhen, a city near Hong Kong, to the southwestern city of Chongqing.

Police said the bus, with 33 people aboard, hit the van while overtaking it on a road and fell "due to its own misoperation," Xinhua said.
