Nineteen others were injured in the late Wednesday accident, which occurred when the bus was returning with holiday makers from the popular hill town resort of Mussoorie.

The bus was carrying 42 passengers when it skidded off a mountain road and crashed some 15 kilometres (nine miles) from the state capital Dehradun.
