JOHANNESBURG, Nov 30 (Reuters) - Five Austrian tourists were killed in South Africa's Kruger National Park on Thursday when their vehicle drove into a river, a spokeswoman said on Friday.

"By the looks of things, they had an accident on a low-level bridge. It looks like they missed the bridge and capsized," National Parks spokeswoman Wanda Mkutshulwa said.

Only the driver survived the accident, she said. (Reporting by Gershwin Wanneburg; Editing by Kevin Liffey)
