At least 14 people were killed, 16 other injured and several more believed to be missing after a bus carrying dozens of Indian pilgrims drove off a key highway Friday in Nepal, officials said. The bus veered off Prithvi Highway and rolled toward a fast-flowing river, stopping on the rocky bank. The top part of the bus was ripped, but the wreckage did not plunge into the Marsyangdi river. Armed Police Force spokesperson Shailendra Thapa said Friday, among those pulled out of from the bus, 14 were declared dead and 16 were injured in the accident.
