    As many as 14 bodies were found and 80 injured people have been transferred to two local hospitals and the death toll was expected to rise as the relief work was still going on.
    Overspeeding was considered the main cause of the accident, report said.
    Police and ambulances have reached the place of the incident for relief and rescue operation. Hundreds of volunteers from nearby villages also joined the relief work.
    Darkness, fog and coldness at the place of accident hampered relief work.
