Sixteen Indian Christians were killed when a truck carrying the group to an annual church meeting overturned.
“The truck carrying the Christians reportedly overturned after the
driver lost control and hit a concrete railing, throwing most of the
passengers in a deep gorge,” said Vijayesh Lal, general secretary of the
Evangelical Fellowship of (EFI).
The accident happened on February 26. Twelve people were killed at the
scene of the crash, including a 13-year-old girl, while four others died
later at the hospital from their injuries. Additionally, 50 more
passengers sustained injuries from the accident.
The group of Christians had been on their way to attend the regional Khasi Jaintia Presbyterian Synod.
