Six children were killed alongside their driver and 12 more were injured after their bus fell into a gorge in northern India on Saturday, police said. The driver of the bus also died in the accident, while seven injured students were said to be in a critical condition after their vehicle crashed in the Himalayan mountains.
"The dead include six school children and the driver of the bus," Rohit Malpani, a senior police officer in Sirmaur district, told AFP. All children aboard were between four and 14 years old, he added. The children were students at a school in a remote area of mountainous Himachal Pradesh state.
