5 Killed As Bus With Dutch Tourists Crashes In Swiss Alps
The accident happened on Thursday afternoon in the eastern canton of Graubunden. The coach hit a safety barrier before overturning and plunging down an embankment, a local police spokesman told Swiss media on Thursday. The coach left the Netherlands on Monday and was on a day trip to Switzerland from Austria when the crash happened, according to the ANVR.
The Dutch Federation of Travel Agencies (ANVR) told AFP that the coach belonged to the tour company Oad and was carrying 48 passengers, all of them from the Netherlands. Zernez is the entry point for visitors to the Swiss national park, a vast Alpine reserve stretching more than 100 square kilometres (40 square miles) across the mountainous Engadine valley.
