Four passengers and the driver of the bus which overturned yesterday morning outside the village of Bétera in the province of Valencia, were slightly injured in the accident. The accident happened yesterday morning on the CV-310 (km 13) at 8.30am when the driver, who had twenty passengers on board at the time, lost control of the bus owing to recent heavy rain in the area.

The driver was on the final stretch of the Serra-Náquera-Bétera route, which is straight, when the bus slipped, overturned and fell into the ditch at the side of the road. The injured were taken to the nearby Bétera Health Centre for treatment, and the bus was removed from the ditch by emergency services using two cranes.
