At least 11 people were killed today and several others injured in two separate road accidents in Nepal.
In the first incident, seven people died and seven others sustained injuries in western Gulmi district when a micro-bus heading towards Tamghas in Gulmi skidded off the road and rolled down a hill, the police said.
The injured were admitted to Shringa Health Post, Palpa for medical treatment.
In the second incident, four people were killed while six others were injured when a jeep en route to Jayaramghat from Katari Bazaar fell 400 meters in Katari Municipality along the Siddhicharan Lokmarga.
The accident took place after the driver lost control of the jeep at 1:30 pm, said police.
A woman, a child and the driver were brought to Katari Hospital after being rescued by police with the help of locals.
