NEW DELHI - Twenty-six college students and teachers were killed while 29 were injured in a bus accident early Monday morning in the western Indian state of Rajasthan, reported local TV channel CNN-IBN.
The students were returning from a picnic in Mathura of the temple town of Vridavan in Uttar Pradesh, northern India, to Sawai Madhopur in Rajasthan, said the report.
The accident took place at a bridge when the bus collided with another vehicle. The bus fell off from the bridge.
Road accident rate in India is among the highest in the world with at least 100,000 killed each year on the road. Reckless driving and lack of enough traffic law enforcers and guide signs are blamed for the high death rate.
