Embassy issues safety warning after accident

The Chinese embassy in the United States issued an emergency notice on Saturday, urging Chinese nationals to exercise caution while traveling, after a deadly crash in Idaho killed five Chinese citizens. A pickup truck collided with a passenger van carrying 14 people near Yellowstone National Park on Thursday evening, killing six van passengers and the truck driver. The Chinese Consulate General in San Francisco confirmed that five of the dead were Chinese nationals. The embassy advised travelers to use reputable, licensed travel agencies, purchase accident insurance, and prepare thoroughly for road trips by understanding local traffic laws and conditions.
