has risen to 28 including eight children, police said Wednesday as a rescue team continued to search a river.
This handout picture taken and released by Indonesia's national search and rescue agency on Dec 24, 2019 shows rescue personnel retrieving a victim after a bus careered into a 150-metre deep ravine and ended up in a river killing dozens, near Perahu Dipo village in Pagar Alam, South Sumatra. A local rescue team said it has evacuated at least 13 survivors and the search is still ongoing to find more bodies over fear that some might have been carried away in the river.According to a passenger manifest, the regional bus left Bengkulu province for Pagar Alam with 27 on board but some survivors told police there were around 50 people inside when the accident happened.
"There is a possibility that there will be more victims that is why we still continue the search," said wednesday local rescue team spokesman Taufan, who goes only by one name like many Indonesians.
