A Bus plunged off cliff in southern India, killing at least 55 people. A bus carrying pilgrims from a Hindu temple in south India plunged off a road Tuesday, killing at least 55 people. At least 33 others were injured. The driver lost control as he tried to avoid another bus on the road leading from the Anjaneya Swamy temple in Telangana state. Crowds often go to the temple on Tuesdays. Volunteers crawled into the bus through broken windows, carrying the dead and injured though grass and up the hill to the road. The injured were taken to hospitals. More than 100,000 people die every year on India's roads, from reckless driving, bad roads and overcrowded vehicles.
