Most of the victims were from the area and enroute to Sundernagar town when the bus skidded off the road near Galuhar. The injured were admitted to a government hospital in Sundernagar.

Eyewitnesses said the administration had a tough time recuing the victims from the badly-mangled bus. The accident seems to have occurred due to negligent driving, a police official told IANS. People in the area began rescue operations even before the authorities reached the spot.
