The 46-year-old driver of the ill-fated bus that crashed into a gorge in Uttarakhand's Uttarkashi district on Sunday killing 25 pilgrims in it was "overspeeding", initial investigation has revealed. Also, the driver "probably jumped off when he realised that the bus was about to plunge and there was nothing he could do about it", said a senior officer privy to the probe.
