25 feared dead in Nepalese bus crash

Nepalese police say at least 25 people, including a number of foreign tourists, are feared dead after their bus plunged about 100 metres into a river in central Nepal.

The accident took place about 90 kilometres west of the capital Kathmandu early this morning.

The bus was travelling between the tourist town of Pokhara and the capital when the driver apparently lost control.
