NEW DELHI, India (CNN) -- A bus carrying mostly school children skidded off a waterlogged road and into a southern Indian river Thursday, killing at least 11 people, including seven children, police say.
The bus, with about 20 children and 10 adults on board, plunged into the Phalguni river outside the coastal city of Mangalore.
Heavy rains have fallen on the city -- in the Indian state of Karnataka -- for several days, leaving flooded roads difficult to navigate.
Firefighters and locals rescued six school boys from the waters and recovered 11 bodies, Mangalore police said. The rest of the passengers remained unaccounted for.
