Rescuers have found six more bodies in the wreckage of a bus that veered off a bridge in Bangladesh and plunged into a canal.
The death toll now stands at 31, with at least 30 others injured.
The bus dropped nearly 60 feet after the driver lost control on a steep approach to Salehpur Bridge near Aminbazar in the outskirts of the capital Dhaka, according to police.
The death toll could rise because more bodies are feared trapped inside the wreckage, while some survivors are in critical condition. At least 70 passengers are believed to have been travelling on the bus.
This was the second fatal bus accident in as many months in Bangladesh. Thirty-five people were killed and nearly 50 injured when two buses collided in the northern district of Bogra on December 27th.
Last year, at least 3,352 people were killed and another 4,000 injured or crippled in 4,500 major road accidents in Bangladesh, according to government figures.
