Five Chinese nationals were killed and eight others injured in a car crash in Bali, according to China’s consulate on the Indonesian island on Friday.
The accident happened in northern Bali’s Buleleng regency, the consulate said in a statement.
The Indonesian driver sustained minor injuries, it added.
The 13 Chinese citizens were travelling in a minibus to Bali’s northern side when the driver lost control of the vehicle, veering off the road into a garden and striking a tree, according to Ida Bagus Widwan Sutadi, the police chief of Buleleng regency.
“Due to the driver’s lack of caution when turning and descending, he veered off the asphalt road and into a community garden, causing a traffic accident,” the police chief said in a statement.
The driver was arrested, he added.
