The bus, with 24 passengers aboard, tumbled down a ravine as it traversed the high-altitude Transcaucasian Highway, which links southern Russia with the Moscow-backed separatist region, ITAR Tass said. The bus was going from the southern Russian city of Vladikavkaz to South Ossetia's capital, Tskhinvali, the news agency said. South Ossetia and another Georgian province, Abkhazia, proclaimed independence following the brief Russian-Georgian war in August 2008. Only Russia and three other countries recognize the regions as independent. Copyright © 2010 The Canadian Press. All rights reserved. |
