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.
