More than 40 people were killed Sunday when a bus crashed into a gorge in the mountainous Uttarakhand state in Northern India.
“The bus lost control and swerved off the road into a deep valley,” Deepesh Chandra Kala, a disaster management official, told AFP news agency. “It broke into two pieces on impact and it is now in a small river at the bottom of the valley.”
Surendra Agrawal, an official at the Chief Minister’s Office in Uttarakhand, told Al Jazeera over 50 people were on the bus at the time it crashed and that officials are investigating whether the accident was human error or a problem with the bus.
“A probe will determine the reason of the accident,” he said. “It could be human error, or a technical snag.”
The World's Most Expensive Cities for a Cup of Coffee
Jagat Ram Joshi, a police officer who is part of the investigation into the crash, told Sky News the 28-seater bus was carrying roughly double the amount of passengers the vehicle could safely hold.
“People were packed like sardines,” he said.
Indian travellers and motorists gather after a landslide blocked their route along the national highway on the outskirts of Vishuprayag on May 19, 2017, in the northern state of Uttarakhand. According to local media reports some 15,000 tourists are stranded after a massive landslide took place on the main Rishikesh-Badrinath Highway a popular pilgrim route to Joshimath.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi reacted to the incident on Twitter with a statement that said: “Extremely saddened by the bus accident in Pauri Garhwal, Uttarakhand. My deepest condolences to the bereaved families. I pray that those injured recover at the earliest,” he said. “Rescue operations are underway and authorities are providing all possible assistance at the accident site.”
Bus crashes remain a problem in the Northern region of India. In April, 27 children were killed when a school bus drove off a mountainside in Nurpur. Days later, 21 people were killed when a bus carrying a marriage party drove off a bridge in Madahya Pradesh. India holds one of the world’s highest vehicle fatality rates, according to the World Health Organization.
Indian rescuers retrieve the remains of a body at the site of a bus crash, after it rammed into two cars parked on the roadside after a breakdown, on the Mumbai-Pune expressway near Shedung Panvel, in an accident that left 17 people dead and 28 injured, on June 5, 2016 AFP/Getty Images
“It’s a combination of factors,” Harman Singh, a member of Arrive Safe, a travel safety advocacy group, told Al Jazeera of India’s high traffic fatalities. “Roads are not in good condition, drivers are not trained, vehicles are not road worthy,” he said.
“New set of rules are no good unless we think of ways to ensure implementation. It was, still is and would probably remain one of the biggest challenges,” he said.

DEHRADUN, India: At least 44 people were killed in northern India on Sunday (Jul 1) when a passenger bus crashed into a gorge in the Himalayan state of Uttarakhand, officials said.
Search and rescue crews were at the crash site in hilly Pauri Garhwal district northeast of New Delhi, police said.
"Forty-four people have died in the accident. At least three others are injured. The rescue work is still ongoing," disaster management official Deepesh Chandra Kala told AFP.
"The bus lost control and swerved off the road, into a deep valley. It broke into two pieces on impact and it is now in a small river at the bottom of the valley."
Images of the vehicle taken at the scene showed the twisted chassis of a bus with the roof sheared clean off.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi said he was "extremely saddened" by news of the accident and offered his condolences to the families of the dead.
"I pray that those injured recover at the earliest. Rescue operations are underway and authorities are providing all possible assistance at the accident site," the prime minister's office posted on Twitter, attributing the remarks to Modi.
Officials said it was unclear how the accident occurred.
But India has some of the world's deadliest roads and lives are frequently lost in India's mountainous north, where narrow hairpin turns cut paths into the steep Himalayan foothills.
More than 150,000 people are killed in road accidents each year with most deaths blamed on poor roads, badly maintained vehicles and reckless driving.
In April a bus carrying young students home in Himachal Pradesh state plunged into a ravine killing 30 on board, including 27 children.
That same month, at least 21 wedding revellers were killed when their truck flew off a bridge in Madhya Pradesh state.
Days later, 13 children died after a train collided with a small school bus at an unmanned railway crossing in Uttar Pradesh state.

More than 40 people have died when a bus fell into a gorge in a mountainous region of northern India.
The incident on Sunday occurred in Nanidhanda area of Pauri Garhwal district in the state Uttarakhand.
"The bus lost control and swerved off the road, into a deep valley. It broke into two pieces on impact and it is now in a small river at the bottom of the valley," disaster management official Deepesh Chandra Kala told AFP news agency.
"As per official records, 45 people are dead, while many are injured," Surendra Agrawal, official at the Chief Minister's Office in Uttarakhand told Al Jazeera.
"Over 50 people were travelling in the bus," he added. "A probe will determine the reason of the accident, it could be human error or a technical snag."
India's National Disaster Relief Force (NDRF) was called to the crash site and is continuing its efforts to reach any passengers trapped in the wreckage.
The injured have been rushed to hospital.
The chief minister of the state of Uttarakhand said a "magisterial inquiry has been ordered".
Prime Minister Narendra Modi's office tweeted that Modi was "extremely saddened" by the news of the deaths.
Road accidents are frequent in India, with uncontrolled traffic junctions, badly maintained vehicles, poor driving standards blamed for most incidents.
In India, a person is killed in a road accident every four minutes, according to government data.
In April this year, 24 children and three adults were killed when a school bus plunged off a mountain road in Himachal Pradesh.
In the same month, 21 people were killed and many others suffered serious injuries after a mini-truck they were travelling in fell off a bridge over the Son river in Sidhi district of Madhya Pradesh.
"It's a combination of factors - roads are not in good condition, drivers are not trained, vehicles are not road-worthy," Harman Singh, of safety campaign group Arrive Safe, told Al Jazeera.
"New set of rules are no good unless we think of ways to ensure implementation. It was, still is and would probably remain one of the biggest challenges," he adds.
A total of 480,000 road accidents took place in India in 2016, which resulted in the loss of 150,000 lives and injured 494,000 people.
A planned law with tougher rules intended to improve one of the world's worst road-safety records is yet to pass muster through India's parliament.
About 1.2 million Indians were killed in car accidents between 2004-2014, while 5.5 million were seriously injured.
