Chamba Bus Accident: Seven Killed, Eleven Injured in Himachal Gorge
A bus was driving on a road in a mountainous area of India called Himachal Pradesh.
The road was very high up, next to a deep valley called a gorge.
On Saturday, the bus went off the road and fell down the steep side of the gorge.
The gorge was about 100 feet deep, which is as tall as a 10-story building.
Sadly, at least seven people died in the accident, including the bus driver and the conductor.
