TAIPEI A Taiwan bus carrying Chinese tourists crashed into a bridge on Saturday, authorities said, wounding some passengers and prompting a call from China for "greater security safeguards".
Of the 26 Chinese tourists on board the bus, nine Chinese tourists, the driver and the tour guide were taken to hospital, Taiwan`s tourism bureau said, adding none of the injuries was life-threatening.
The Chinese tourists, from Zhejiang province, were in Taiwan on a six-day trip.
Taiwan`s tourism industry has already suffered a major downturn in visitors from China.
The accident in the southern city of Kaohsiung follows a grisly murder-suicide last year in which 24 Chinese tourists were killed after the driver set their moving bus on fire.
