The accident occurred around 6 pm last night, when an airconditioned bus with 37 tourists, mostly Israeli, crashed and overturned, on a hilly road connecting Patong beach with Kathu, into Phuket town. The initial report indicated that the bus was taking tourists back to Patong after a trip to Phang Nga. When it got to the scene, it was raining on the slippery road, and the driver lost control of the bus. Even though there were no fatal cases, all the injured were rushed to hospitals for treatment, such as Patong Hospital, Phuket International Hospital and Bangkok Hospital Phuket. The accident forced police to block off the route for 2-3 hours to remove the bus, but a checkpoint was set up to keep the public informed. During this holiday period, the authority has set up an ad hoc centre for road safety, and yesterday was the first day.
