A dozen people were injured in the accident and were rushed to hospital. Rescue teams are using cranes to lift the victims. The fire brigade is also hel with rescue operations. Officials indicated the toll could rise as many of the passengers, who were on their way to a wedding, remained trapped under the truck which overturned, reported AFP.

The truck was carrying a wedding party of around 60 people. It toppled into a drain near Umrala on the Bhavnagar-Rajkot Highway. Initial investigations indicated the driver lost control causing the truck to swerve off the bridge and fall eight metres onto a dry riverbed.

警方称，据初步调查显示，由于该坠毁汽车的司机失去了对车的控制，导致这辆车偏离了大桥道路，坠入干涸河床。

当地官员表示，由于卡车倾覆，许多乘客仍然被困车下，因此死亡人数可能将上升，这些乘客当时正乘坐该车去参加婚礼。据悉，其他伤者已被紧急送往医院。

28 people died is just a normal news for media while one person Sridevi''d demise was a big headline for weeks altogether.

28人死亡的交通事故，媒体只是平淡报道

而印度女星希里黛玉去世了，媒体接连好几周头条悼念。
