Some 37 passengers, plus a driver, were on board the bus in South Sumatra province when it plunged around 100m (328ft) on Monday night.

Authorities have deployed 120 rescue workers to help survivors and retrieve the dead.

The cause of the accident is being investigated.

The bus left Bengkulu city, on Sumatra island, earlier on Monday.

According to local media, it was going to the city of Palembang located several hours away.
