At least 16 people have been killed and another 12 injured after a bus plunged into a ravine in a mountain village in the Philippines..<\/p>\n

Eight of the wounded in the accident, which happened on Tuesday afternoon in Hamtic town in Antique province, were in critical condition at a local hospital, officials said.<\/p>\n

The bus, which came from the nearby Iloilo province, was manoeuvring along the road when the driver lost control, smashed onto a concrete railing then fell into the ravine.<\/p>\n

“The driver was repeatedly sounding his horn because he had apparently lost control of the bus before it plummeted into the ravine,” Ronniel Pabustan, an Antique provincial crisis responder, said.<\/p>\n

Dozens of rescuers, including police, army and provincial emergency responders, worked to free the victims.<\/p>\n

Using stretchers and ropes, they brought the victims up the ravine in a rescue that dragged late into the night, according to Mr Pabustan.<\/p>\n

“It’s so tragic and painful because this happened close to Christmas,” he said, adding that among the dead were a baby and the driver.<\/p>\n

The search for victims ended overnight but provincial officials urged village leaders to alert emergency personnel if they find any more victims in the site of the accident, a thickly wooded area in the bottom of the ravine.<\/p>\n

Fatal road accidents are common in the Philippines<\/strong> due to weak enforcement of traffic laws, dilapidated vehicles and dangerous road conditions, including inadequate safety signs and barriers on mountain roads and in far-flung provinces.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
