Buses carrying more than 50 people fell into the Trishuli river which was overflowing after days of rain as the monsoon season raged. Conditions made it difficult to see the wreckage. Rescuers in Nepal were able to recover the first body the next day after a landslide swept the two buses into the raging river. Rescuers then began to find bodies in spots along the riverbanks. The incidents occurred on the highway that connects Nepal’s capital to the southern parts of the country.
