The Indonesian driver sustained minor injuries, it added.
The 13 Chinese citizens were travelling in a minibus to Bali’s northern side when the driver lost control of the vehicle, veering off the road into a garden and striking a tree, according to Ida Bagus Widwan Sutadi, Buleleng regency’s police chief.
“Due to the driver’s lack of caution when turning and descending, he veered off the asphalt road and into a community garden, causing a traffic accident,” the police chief said in a statement.
