29 killed in bus crash on Indian expressway
AGRA, India, July 8, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – A bus careered off one of India’s
busiest roads into a ravine Monday killing at least 29 people, police said.
The driver of the bus was suspected to have fallen asleep before the
double decker bus hit a divider and fell into a gap between two flyovers on
the Delhi-Agra expressway, according to police. More than 150,000 people a
year are killed on India’s roads, which are notorious for poor infrastructure
and speeding drivers.
