14 Killed In Nepal Bus Accident

KATMANDU, Nepal (AP) ― Police say a bus veered off a mountain road and plunged into a river in central Nepal, killing 14 passengers and leaving several more missing.

Police official Ramji Dantel said the bus fell in the river just after midnight Saturday in Khare Khola, about 100 miles west of the capital, Katmandu.

Police and soldiers were searching the river for bodies but the river is flooded with monsoon rain, making their work difficult.

Another 29 people injured in the accident have been taken to a hospital.
