20 dead in bus accident
September 9th, 2009
SRINAGAR (India) - AT LEAST 20 people were killed and 25 others injured in Indian-ruled Kashmir on Monday when an overcrowded bus skidded off a mountain road and plunged into a gorge, police said.
The accident occurred in northern Doda district, south of the summer capital Srinagar, along the main highway linking the Himalayan region with the rest of India.
‘Of the injured, nine are in a critical condition,’ a police spokesman said.
Bus accidents are common in the area because of a combination of bad roads, overcrowding and poor maintenance of vehicles.
In June, 26 people were killed in a similar accident in the same area.
