At Least 40 Killed in India Bus Crash

by VOA News

   More than 40 people were killed Tuesday when a bus carrying pilgrims
   from a Hindu temple plunged off a road in southern India.

   Authorities say the bus was returning from the famous Anjaneya Swamy
   temple in Telangana state when the driver lost control and drove into a
   ravine.

   Local residents and other motorists rushed to the scene of the accident
   to pull victims from the wreckage and carry them up a hill. The injured
   passengers were rushed to nearby hospitals for treatment.
