The death toll from a minibus that crashed into a reservoir in Shaowu City, east China's Fujian Province, Friday rose to 11 Saturday after another body was found.

Nine people were rescued and one was still missing, said an official with the city government Saturday.

A child and a baby were among those killed in the accident.

The driver of the minibus bound for Shaowu from Yong'an lost control at 5:27 p.m. Friday when he apparently tried to avoid a motorbike. The minibus rolled into the reservoir of Qianling Hydropower Station built on Futun River, a tributary of the Minjiang River.
