The consulate general of China in Perth has confirmed on Monday evening that the mini-bus which was involved in Sunday's crash on an isolated road in Western Australia was carrying Chinese tourists.
"On Dec. 9, a serious traffic accident involving Chinese citizens occurred on the Indian Ocean Highway near Lancelin in northern Western Australia, killing two," said the consulate.
After the accident, Chinese consulate immediately reacted and verified with local police, providing assistance to those injured. Other nine injured Chinese (Taiwan residents included) are hospitalized and in stable condition, according to CCTV reporter.
The Chinese consulate general in Perth has warned visitors that road safety remains the number one threat for tourists coming to Western Australia, with the Indian Ocean Drive particularly prone to serious traffic accidents and casualties.
