BEIJING (Reuters) - Rescuers recovered two bodies after a public bus plunged nearly 60 metres (200 ft) into a river after colliding with a car in southwestern China's Chongqing city on Sunday, state media reported.

The bus collided at around 10 am (0200 GMT) with a private car that was driving against the flow of traffic on a four-lane bridge in the city's Wanxian area. The bus then veered, broke through the bridge fence and plunged into the Yangtze river.
