BEIJING, Jan 5 (Reuters) - Thirteen people, including eight children, were killed in two accidents in the same central Chinese county, Xinhua news agency said on Friday.

Six children and a driver died on Thursday when a kindergarten bus overturned in a roadside ditch in Qiyang county, more than 200 km southwest of Changsha, capital of Hunan province.

A 30-year old building collapsed the same day in Qiyang, killing four adults and two elementary school-aged children, Xinhua said.

Parents had rented the three-storey building to cut down on their children's school commute.
