Police officer Park Sang-ho said the bus was carrying 31 people — all South Koreans in their 70s and 80s — when it veered off a mountainous road Wednesday evening and rolled about 20 meters (yards) down a hill in Gyeongju, about 280 kilometers (174 miles) southeast of Seoul.

The crash left 17 people dead and the 14 others injured seriously.
