24 maut bas bertembung lori di India

Indian authorities report at least 24 fatalities after a small bus crashed into a lorry in the northeastern state of Assam on Friday, according to German news agency DPA. Assam's Minister of State Atul Bora informed reporters that at least 11 people sustained injuries in the collision near Kaziranga National Park, many of them schoolchildren.

Around 35 individuals, including the bus driver, were on board according to reports from the Indian daily Hindustan Times and other news outlets quoting police. Hindustan Times quoted a surviving passenger as saying the bus was packed tightly and some passengers were standing between seats when the accident occurred. Police reported that the lorry driver and passengers also sustained injuries, and the bus was driven too fast before the collision.
