On Wednesday, a passenger bus went off the main highway and into an overflowing river in Nepal’s Bagmati district, killing at least eight passengers and injuring at least 15 more.
The disaster occurred when a bus from Kathmandu to the scenic city of Pokhara went off the road and sank into the Trishuli River at Chalise in Dhading district.
