At least 28 people have been killed and 13 injured when a bus plunged into a river at the bottom of a ravine in Indonesia's Sumatra island.
"The last body we retrieved just before sunset was that of a five-year-old girl. We will continue to look for the remaining victims," local police chief Dolly Gumara said on Tuesday.
He said the accident occurred shortly before midnight on Monday in Pagaralam district of South Sumatra province.
The intercity bus was travelling from the provincial capital of Bengkulu province to Palembang, the capital of neighbouring South Sumatra province.

It was turning on a steep bend in Perahu Dipo village in the Pagaralam district when it plunged into a deep ravine and into a river which was on high tide.
The police said malfunctioning brakes could have caused the accident as there were skid marks on the winding road near the crash site.
Some 50 people were thought to be on board. Gumara said according to one of the survivors, there were 27 people when it departed from Bengkulu but it collected more passengers along the way until it was full.
