A bus crash in Nepal killed 19 people, including a British hiker, Dominic Ethan Stewart, and injured 25 others on Monday. The packed passenger bus, carrying 44 people, veered off a road in the Himalayan foothills in the Dhading district, 50 miles west of Kathmandu, and plunged 200 meters down a mountainside. Stewart, an enthusiastic hiker who had just completed the Annapurna Circuit, was remembered as a "very loving and caring young man." The victims also included a Chinese woman and an Indian man, while a New Zealand woman and a Chinese child were among the injured. Overcrowded buses, poorly maintained roads, and lax safety enforcement contribute to frequent vehicle accidents in Nepal's mountainous regions. A task force has been formed to investigate the accident.
