At least 10 people were killed when a bus carrying mostly Russian tourists plunged off a cliff in southern Vietnam, state media report.

Nine of the dead were Russian, the other was a Vietnamese guide. Most of the victims died at the scene.

Fourteen other people were injured in the accident near the highland resort of Da Lat.

Vietnam has a poor record on road safety; more than 12,000 people were killed in traffic accidents last year.

An initial investigation suggested the bus was speeding down a hill before veering off the cliff late on Friday, police official Nguyen Van Lam was quoted as saying by the Associated Press news agency.

There were up to 26 people on board at the time of the accident.
