The driver reportedly had his vision obscured by the thick miasma of smog that has descended recently on Tianjin, Beijing and surrounding Hebei Province. The accident occurred at around 11am this morning and "dozens" of the 59 passengers on board sustained injuries and have been sent to a nearby hospital.
UPDATE: Two passengers have now been declared dead.
