Shillong, Aug 4: In a tragic accident, five members of a family lost their lives after the vehicle they were travelling in plunged into a 70-foot-deep gorge at Rngain in East Khasi Hills late Sunday night.

Police suspect that a heavy landslide, triggered by continuous rainfall and fog in the area, may have caused the driver to lose control, sending the Maruti Alto off the road and into the gorge.
