Seven killed in Uttaranchal accident

Seven people, including a three-year-old child, were killed and 27 others seriously injured when a bus fell into a gorge on the Rishikesh-Tehri National Highway in Uttaranchal on Monday morning.

The bus, which was going from Rishikesh to Mayali, fell into the 150-meter deep gorge as the driver lost control over the vehicle while it was ascending a steep climb near Chamba.

Four people died on the spot while three succumbed to injuries on their way to hospital.

Police have rushed to the spot. The bodies of the victims have been sent to Tehri for post-mortem and the injured have been admitted to hospitals in Chamba, Narendarnagar and Dehra.

Barring two, all the victims have been identified.
