KATHMANDU, Nepal — A bus carrying dozens of Indian pilgrims drove off a highway Friday in Nepal, leaving several people injured or missing.

The bus veered off the highway and rolled toward a fast-flowing river, stopping on the rocky bank.

The top part of the bus had been ripped but the wreckage did not plunge into the Marsyangdi river.

Some four dozen were on board the bus, according to police official Deepak Kumar Raya. Fourteen of the 29 people pulled out of the bus were unconscious and were rushed to hospitals nearby.

Police and army rescuers were helping to pull people from the wreckage near Abukhaireni town, about 120 kilometers (75 miles) west of the capital, Kathmandu.
