None
At least 17 people were killed Monday when a bus slipped off a rain-drenched mountain road in northwestern Nepal, police said.
The bus skidded off the road and rolled a few meters near Rararihi village, about 400 kilometers (250 miles) northwest of the capital, Kathmandu, said police official Indra Bahadur Saud.
The mostly gravel road was slippery from overnight rainfall, and visibility was poor because of fog, he said.
Among those killed, 13 died on the spot, while four succumbed to injuries at the hospital.
