At least 30 passengers were killed and as many injured when an over-crowded bus rolled down into a gorge near Haripur in Himachal Pradesh's Kangra district on Friday.

The accident took place around 10 am when the driver lost control over the vehicle while negotiating a turn and the bus fell into the 100-feet deep gorge from a road bridge on Baner Khud. The bus, on way to Dehra from Nagrota Suriyan in the district, had hardly travelled half-a-km from the Guler railway station when the mishap took place.
