At least 44 people have been killed and 35 were injured when a bus plunged off a road in India.
Officials said about 80 people were on board when the vehicle veered off the road and into a gorge in the hilly northern state of Himachal Pradesh.
Some of the 35 injured were in a critical condition but everyone is now accounted for after the tragedy that unfolded on Thursday.
Images from the scene showed locals helping survivors of the crash across a nearby river.
"Around 78 to 80 people were on board the bus," said Akshay Sood, a senior civil servant in Kullu district, where the accident took place.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed his dismay over the accident, which left at least 44 dead amid fears the death toll could rise.
"Deeply saddened by the bus accident in Kullu,” Modi's office said in a tweet.
“Condolences to the families of those who lost their lives. I hope the injured recover soon.”
Indian roads are among the world's deadliest, with nearly 148,000 people killed in more than 460,000 accidents in 2017, according to government data.
