CHONGQING, China – A fight between a bus driver and passenger was the cause of the bus plunging off of a bridge and into a river in China.

Surveillance video released today shows the two physically fighting before the bus veered into oncoming traffic, smashed through a guardrail and plunged off the bridge into the Yangtze River on Sunday.

Police believe the passenger was arguing with the driver after missing her stop.

No one is believed to have survived the accident. Chinese media reports 13 bodies have been recovered from the river. Another two are still missing.
