A bus carrying over 30 passengers went off a 20-meter-deep cliff in the central highlands province of Kon Tum on Saturday evening, injuring 10 people.

The bus fell off at around 10:30 p.m. and was distorted after rolling several times.

The passengers, most of them traveling back to their hometown for the upcoming Lunar New Year holiday, panicked and tried to get out to call for help.
