A bus teeming with nearly 70 passengers was heading to Kathmandu when it fell off the road and plunged many metres down a hill on Tuesday—killing most of its passengers on the spot. The deadly bus crash occurred near a village in Rasuwa district about 32 kilometres north of Kathmandu. While traveling through the mountainous region with people riding on its roof, the packed vehicle tilted over onto the gravel. The bus then slid down the hill next to the road for about 200 metres. At least 30 passengers were killed while 35 others were injured in the crash. A severe fuel shortage in Nepal has led to fewer vehicles in service, and more vehicles are carrying far more passengers than they should. Nepal often sees tragic incidents like this one because of its many winding roads. In 2013, 30 people also died after a bus plummeted hundreds of feet after hitting a pole on the side of the road.
