Beijing (CNS) – A Chinese tourist group and a business tour were both involved in serious traffic accidents in North Korea on November 26, which left 7 Chinese and 3 North Koreans dead.
The accidents happened as rain and sleet fell on frozen ground 60 kilometers away from North Korea's capital, Pyongyang. The business tour bus slid off a bridge and the bus carrying the tourist group rolled over.
