Forty killed in Nepal bus crash


Police in Nepal say at least 40 people have been killed in a bus accident in Chitwan, south of the capital, Kathmandu.

The passenger bus was travelling from Kathmandu to the eastern town of Dhankuta late on Tuesday when it plunged several metres off the road into a stream along the highway between Mugling and Narayangadh.

Police said the cause of the accident was not yet known and rescue and search efforts were continuing.
