The bus with 32 people on board toppled off an embankment and fell onto a building, Austrian police said.
German daily newspaper Passauer Neue Press reported that the 31-year-old man who died was celebrating his bachelor party in advance of his upcoming marriage. Two other people, including the bus driver, suffered serious injuries.
