A passenger bus has crashed into a tunnel wall in north China's Shanxi province
killing 14 people and injuring 37 others, Chinese state media reports.

According to local authorities the accident happened on Tuesday on the Hubei expressway, state broadcaster CCTV news said on Wednesday, and many people were sent to hospital for treatment.

Separately, three people were killed and 16 others injured after a car smashed into a crowd at a vocational school in Taizhou, located in east China's Zhejiang province on Tuesday, the local public security bureau announced, according to Xinhua News.

That incident occurred at the Taizhou Vocational and Technical College. The injured are in stable condition, the report said.

It was the latest deadly car accident located at a school in China. On March 1, two people were killed and several children injured after a car careened into a group of people in a residential area of Dezhao in eastern China's Shandong province, state media reported.
