At least 24 people were killed and 11 others injured when a bus collided with a container truck in India's northeastern state of Assam on Friday.
The accident occurred on a highway near Kaziranga National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site famous for its one-horned rhinoceroses, about 225 kilometres east of Dispur, the state capital.
Children and the bus driver were among those killed, officials said.
State Minister Atul Bora described the crash as one of the worst in Assam's history and said police were investigating its cause. He added that witnesses reported the bus was speeding before the collision.
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma expressed his grief over the incident in a post on X, saying he was "deeply distressed by the tragic accident."
India has one of the world's highest rates of road fatalities, with reckless driving, poorly maintained roads and ageing vehicles among the major contributing factors.
