BEIJING, March 15 (Reuters) - A bus carrying 33 passengers plunged into a reservoir in northwest China early on Thursday, killing four and leaving 18 missing, Xinhua news agency said.

"So far 11 people have been saved, one of whom was seriously injured, and four bodies have been found," Xinhua said, quoting local authorities in Shaanxi province.
