Two killed in car plunge into Chamba gorge in Himachal
Two people died in a very sad car accident in a mountainous part of India called Himachal Pradesh.
Their car went off the road and fell into a very deep valley called a gorge.
The gorge is about 600 metres deep, which is like falling from a very tall cliff.
The accident happened at night on a mountain road near a place called Bharmour.

The two people who died were named Suresh Kumar and Sanjay Kumar, and they lived nearby.
Their bodies were taken to a hospital for a special check-up called a post-mortem.
Police are still looking into exactly what happened.
Local leaders were very sad and offered their sympathy to the families.
