The road, little more than a trail, was wide enough for only one vehicle to pass at a time and was slippery because of continuous rain.A Nepalese home ministry official, Chiranjivi Nepal, said 33 people were killed, but injured passengers and relatives said many more may have died because the wreckage was scattered along the slope below the road and some areas were inaccessible.
