Scenes from deadly bus accident site in Bangladesh capital

At least 19 people were killed and up to 25 were injured Sunday in Bangladesh after a bus smashed through a highway fence and plunged into a roadside ditch. Police said they suspected the driver lost control and hit the railing of a recently built major expressway, sending the bus tumbling 30 feet into the ditch.

The death toll has risen to 19 and at least 12 people were critically injured. Road accidents are frequent in Bangladesh due to old and badly maintained vehicles and roads, as well as poorly trained drivers.
