A bus in Ivory Coast plunged into Abidjan's lagoon on Friday, killing at least 12 passengers, rescuers at the scene of the accident said, according to Reuters. The officials said the bus smashed into two cars on a bridge stretching over the lagoon in the West African nation's commercial capital, and was then sent hurtling over the edge. A fireman at scene, who declined to be named, said 12 bodies had been pulled out of the lagoon, while nine people had survived and had been pulled from the wreckage. Colonel Coulibaly Adama, commander of the fire brigade, said emergency services would need to lift the bus out to see whether there were any more bodies inside.
