The State Road Transport Corporation bus, which was carrying 65 passengers, fell into Purna river in south Gujarat when the driver apparently lost control of the speeding bus, said police.
The accident happened just before the Gurukul Supa bridge on Purna river.
Authorities were carrying out rescue operations and the injured have been rushed to hospitals for emergency treatment.
Traffic accidents in India are common. Reckless driving, over packing of passengers and bad road conditions are main reasons for deadly accidents which kill at least 110,000 each year. Enditem
