PHILIPPINES- Police in Philippines have reported that thirteen people died while another thirty were wounded in a bus crash  on Friday.

The bush, according to the report, was travelling through mountainous terrain when it fell some 120m (390 ft) off the road.

The accident happened in Bontoc, some 280km (175 miles) north of Manila.

A Canadian and a Dutch national were among those who died, a police chief said.

Police said they suspected human error or mechanical failure was to blame.

It comes less than two months after after a bus fell off an elevated motorway onto a van in the Philippine capital, killing 21 people.
