At least 13 people were killed and 40 others injured after a private bus overturned and plunged into a gorge in Himachal Pradesh’s Sirmaur district on Friday, officials said.

The bus was travelling from Solan to Haripur Dhar when the accident occurred. Preliminary information suggests that the driver lost control of the vehicle on a hilly stretch, causing it to overturn and fall into a deep gorge. The impact completely wrecked the bus, killing several passengers and leaving many others seriously injured.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi condoled the loss of lives and announced ex-gratia of Rs 2 lakh each for the kin of the victims.
