A spokesman at Pelabuhanratu hospital, Taufik, said that in addition to the 21 dead, the nine others aboard the bus were seriously injured. Local police spokesman Trunoyudo Wisnu Andiko said the bus plunged into the 30-metre (98-foot) deep ravine after the driver lost control of the vehicle in an area with a number of sharp inclines. Road accidents are common in Indonesia due to poor safety standards and infrastructure.
