Taiwanese media reports say 26 people were killed after a tour bus burst into flames on a busy highway.
The official Central News Agency says the accident took place shortly after noon on Tuesday on the No. 2 national highway in Taoyuan county, south of the capital, Taipei.
Media reports said those aboard were tourists from China, but officials have not confirmed that.
CNA and others reported that the bus apparently smashed into a roadside barrier and caught fire. Photos from the scene showed flames and thick black smoke pouring from the cab of the bus.
