A school bus collided with a trailer in Foshan yesterday morning, leaving one student dead and ten others injured, Guangzhou Daily reported on its microblog. The collision with the Guangzhou-registered trailer, which took place in Jiujiang Village, is thought to have been caused by the bus driver failing to give way.
