S. Korean victim of Seattle bus crash dies

A South Korean exchange student died four days after being injured in a collision between a charter bus and a sightseeing tour vehicle in the U.S. city of Seattle, a Seoul official said Tuesday.

The 20-year-old female died early Tuesday morning, South Korea time, raising the death toll to five in the accident that occurred on Aurora Bridge Thursday, the official said.

The other four victims were students from Austria, Indonesia, Japan and China, respectively.

More than 50 people were injured, including 12 South Korean students and tourists aboard the tour vehicle.

Harborview Medical Center in Seattle earlier said a 20-year-old female exchange student had died without releasing her nationality. (Yonhap)
