South Korea bus crash kills 17

**Seventeen people have been killed when a touring coach veered off a mountain road in South Korea.**At least 14 others were injured from the group of 31 elderly South Korean tourists who had been visiting a spa in the area.

The bus rolled about 20 metres downhill in Gyeongju, about 300 km (190 miles) southeast of the South Korean capital, Seoul.

Police are still investigating the cause of the incident.

Relief workers said the toll could rise due to the age of the passengers, with all of them in their 70s or 80s.

They were returning from a spa trip, YTN local television reported.
