At least 29 people have been injured while 21 members of a group travelling to a wedding in central India were killed when a small truck in which they were travelling fell off a bridge into a dry river bed.

Senior administration official Dilip Kumar revealed this saying the accident occurred late Tuesday in Madhya Pradesh state’s Sidhi district.
