JAIPUR, India (AP) - A large truck crammed with Hindu pilgrims crashed into a gorge in northwestern India on Friday night, killing at least 85 people and injuring 46 more, police said.
The truck driver lost control while taking a sharp turn in Nagbavji, a village more than 350 miles southwest of New Delhi, said Rajiv Dusot, the inspector-general of police.
The truck smashed through a protective wall on the highway and hurtled 80 feet into the gorge, Dusot told The Associated Press. It carried a total of 145 people.
