SHANGHAI, Feb. 8 (Chinese media) -- Three relatives of a

Chinese tourist who died in the fatal bus crash in the United States arrived at

the Pudong International Airport in Shanghai on Sunday evening.

The flight, MU 586, landed at 18:33, in which three

passengers were relatives of Ge Xiazhen from the neighboring Zhejiang Province.

Ge went to the United States with her daughter Xie

to the environment of the country, according to the relatives.

Xie had her right leg broken in the accident and is

receiving medical treatment in the United States.

tour guide overturned on the U.S. 93 highway in Arizona near the Hoover Dam on

Jan. 30. Six tourists and the guide died. Nine others and the driver were

injured.

Initial investigation found that passengers were

ejected out of the vehicle because there were no seat belts, and distraction of

the driver was cited for the cause of the accident.
