   Officials in northern India say a bus has plunged into a gorge, killing
   at least 40 people.
   Authorities say the passenger bus skidded off the road Saturday in the
   Chamba district of Himachal Pradesh state, falling at least 76 meters
   into the gorge.
   Officials say the death toll is likely to rise.
   India has the world's highest road death toll with accidents attributed
   to overcrowding, speeding, and poor vehicle and road maintenance.
