15 killed in Indian bus plunge

At least 15 people were killed when a minibus rolled down a mountainous road into a river in India’s Jammu-Kashmir state today.

Rescuers were looking for another 30 people missing from the overcrowded bus, said Tahir Butt, superintendent of police.

The accident occurred near Kalalai, a town 155 miles north-west of Jammu, the state capital.

The bus plunged nearly 100 feet into the river cascading down the hillside, Butt said.
