Six girls from Bombay were killed and six were injured when a vehicle in which they were travelling collided head-on with a Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation bus on the Aurangabad-Nashik road, about five kms from Devgaon Rangari on Friday.

About 50 devotees belonging to the Swami Narayan faith were on their way for a religious camp in Aurangabad. The group, associated with the Swaminarayan Mandir Trust from Bombay left from Dadar in four jeeps and a bus.
