Bus with 40 On board Plunges into Nepal River

A bus with at least 40 people on board plunged off a Nepalese highway and into a river on Friday with most passengers rescued but the search still on for more survivors, said by officials.

The bus was travelling from the tourist city of Pokhara to the capital Kathmandu when the accident occurred in the central district of Tanahun. Three people were able to escape alive, but authorities have so far only managed to recover 20 bodies from that accident, and the search is continuing for the two buses and the missing passengers.
