This is so heartbreaking 💔 The roads in Himachal can be quite dangerous, especially early morning when visibility is low. Hope all injured recover soon. Authorities really need to enforce speed limits better.

Was just in Kasol last month! The roads are beautiful but terrifying - drivers take so many risks. Tourists should be more careful when choosing transport options.

While the driver is at fault for speeding, I think the article could have mentioned more about road conditions. Many Himalayan roads lack proper barriers and signage that could prevent such accidents.

Prayers for all the injured 🙏 The medical college at Nerchowk is excellent though, so they're in good hands. Hope the critically injured pull through!

4 AM is such a dangerous time to be driving those mountain roads. Why do bus operators schedule trips at these hours? Safety should come before convenience.
