VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov 9 (Reuters) - Two Taiwanese tourists were killed and two others hospitalized when their bus crashed in Canada's Rocky Mountains, police said on Friday.

The chartered bus carrying 12 people rolled down an embankment after the driver apparently lost control at a curve on the Trans-Canada Highway near Golden, British Columbia, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police said.

The cause of the accident late Thursday was under investigation, but weather and road conditions were reported to have been good at the time of the crash.
