least 19 people have been killed in a freak accident in southern India, after a container slipped off a truck and rammed into a passenger bus.
Police are investigating the incident, but officials say the container came off its hinges after one of the wheels of the truck had a puncture.
"There were about 48 people in the bus, and several are in a critical condition," an official told BBC Hindi.
The incident occurred around 3:30am local time (21:50 GMT), police said.
The bus was on a highway when the container slipped off the truck, which was in the opposite lane. It then rolled onto the other side, colliding with the bus.
