CHANGCHUN, July 8 -- Six tourists from the Republic of Korea who were injured in a bus accident in Jilin Province, northwest China, were flown home Wednesday.
A bus, carrying 26 ROK tourists, one Chinese driver and one Chinese tour guide, plunged off a bridge a week ago in Ji'an City.
Ten passengers and the driver died. Seventeen people sustained injures.
The injured are being treated at the First Hospital of Jilin University in the provincial capital of Changchun.
Four are scheduled to fly back on Thursday and those in a serious condition will return in a week, said Wang Haifeng, vice president of the hospital.
A ROK official, who came to China to deal with the accident, allegedly committed suicide early Sunday morning.
Choi Doo Yeong, president of ROK Local Government Officials Development Institute, fell from his hotel room in Ji'an at about 3 a.m. Sunday.
Choi came to China with Chung Chae-gun, vice minister with ROK's Ministry of Government Administration and Home Affairs.
