A serious traffic accident involving a public bus and multiple vehicles left two people dead and 16 injured in Shenyang, Liaoning Province, on the evening of June 17.

The incident occurred at approximately 7:55 p.m. near No. 15 Lianhe Road in the city's Dadong District. Local authorities reported that a bus collided with several motor vehicles, injuring 18 people. All the injured were immediately taken to hospital, but two later died despite medical efforts.

The bus driver, a 52-year-old man surnamed Wang, was taken into custody at the scene. Authorities said he tested negative for both alcohol and drugs.

According to a preliminary investigation, the crash was caused by improper handling of the vehicle while the driver was attempting to avoid a pedestrian, resulting in a loss of control.

Emergency response and cleanup operations have since been completed, and traffic in the area has returned to normal. An investigation into the incident is ongoing.
