Overloaded city boat capsizes: 8 dead
A tragedy unfolded on a river in China's southwestern province of Guizhou on Monday.
A town-owned boat was transporting local villagers between the banks of the Pingzheng River. But the boat was severely overloaded, causing it to capsize in the water. Already at least eight people on board drowned in the accident. Five people could still be rescued in extremis. Investigations must now determine who will be held responsible for this tragedy on China's Pingzheng River.
