Nepal bus accident leaves 29 dead
The accident happened near the village of Chhatiwan in the western district of Doti.
KATMANDU: Police in Nepal said on Saturday that 29 people were died after a bus veered off a mountain road and crashed.
Police and local residents helped pull the dead and injured from the scene of the accident, which occurred at night and in foggy conditions.
Buses are often overcrowded in Nepal and accidents on poorly-maintained mountain roads are common.
Twelve passengers who were seriously injured are being treated in hospital, police officer Nara Bahadur Air told the AFP news agency.
In July, more than 40 people, most of them Hindu pilgrims, were killed in two deadly bus crashes in as many days.
