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.

Kumar said the victims, mostly family and friends of the groom, were travelling to the wedding in Pamaria village when their mini-truck swerved off the Jogdaha bridge and fell about 50 to 60 feet down into the Sone river bed.
