A media report says at least 39 people died, most of them school children, when a bus plunged into a canal in western India.


The Press Trust of India says rescuers fished four children from the water alive after the accident early Wednesday near Vadodara in Gujarat.

Senior local government official Vijay Nehra says there were 40 to 50 passengers on the bus and that at least 39 of them died, according to the report. (AP)
