    Five people died after a bus plunged into a river overnight while crossing a bridge in Spain's northwestern Galicia region, officials on Christmas Day.<\/p>\n

    The emergency services said two bodies had been recovered while two others, including the bus driver, had been rescued and taken to hospital.<\/p>\n

    The devastating incident occurred on Saturday night near Vigo and the border with Portugal. The regional La Voz de Galicia newspaper said the bus was carrying people visiting their loved ones jailed in Monterroso in central Galicia.<\/p>\n

    Spain's Civil Guard later said two more bodies were found earlier today. The woman's body was recovered but the man's body was yet to be retrieved.<\/p>\n

    On Twitter, emergency services said there could have been more people inside the bus and posted a photo of the vehicle in turbulent waters.<\/p>\n

    Meanwhile, rescue operations had to be suspended overnight due to bad weather but resumed this morning.<\/p>\n
