Prenn is around 10 km from Da Lat, a popular destination for tourists in Vietnam’s Central Highlands.

The tourist bus is operated by Dong Nai-based travel firm Le My. It was carrying about 45 passengers from the southern province of Binh Duong when it crashed.

The passenger bus was believed to have lost its brakes, leading to the accident, according to Lam Dong’s chairman Doan Van Viet.
