48 killed as bus falls into valley

It was Sunday morning and 58 people were travelling in a bus to Ramnagar of Uttarakhand. The time was pleasent and journey was joyful. They loved to look through the windows that showed never ending mountains on both ways. But they would have least expected that the same mountains would cast a shadow on their lives. The driver while trying to keep away a pothole in the middle of the road was unable to control the bus and plunged it into the 200 metres deep valley. The force of the accident was such that the upper part of the bus was torn off. Nearly 48 people were feared to be dead and 10 more passengers were in severe condition. Overcapacity of the bus is said to be the main cause for the driver being unable to control the vehicle.
