36 people have died after a major bus crash in northern India
The bus fell into a 60-metre deep gorge At least 36 people have died after a passenger bus veered off-road and plunged into a deep gorge in India today. The bus had been carrying 60 people when it crashed in the Almora district of northern India, authorities say that more than 20 suffered injuries. A preliminary investigation into the incident suggested that the bus, which reportedly in a run-down, skidded along the road before tumbling down a 60-metre-deep gorge.
Uttarakhand’s chief minister, Pushkar Singh Dhami, said that teams are working to quickly evacuate the injured passengers to the nearest health centre. Emergency services have been instructed to airlift any rescued passengers with life-threatening injuries. Today’s accident in India isn’t the first major incident on the roads this year. Just last week, a bus veered out of control in the Sikar district, killing 12 passengers.
