The death toll from a minibus that crashed into a reservoir in Shaowu City, east China's Fujian Province, Friday rose to 12 Saturday after the last two bodies were found.
Nine people who were rescued were still in hospital, but their injuries were not life-threatening, 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 when he apparently tried to avoid a motorbike at 5:27 p.m. Friday. The minibus rolled into the reservoir of Qianling Hydropower Station on the Futun River, a tributary of the Minjiang River.
