The official Xinhua News Agency says an explosion occurred when the bus and tractor collided Saturday in Wenzhou city, killing 13 people immediately. Another person died later in a hospital.

It was the second serious collision involving a bus in less than a month. Ten people died when a coach hit a van crowded with migrant workers in southwest China last month.

Road accidents are common in China because of overloaded and unsafe vehicles, poor road conditions and bad driving habits.
