At least 13 wedding guests, including an infant, fall into well and die in India

New Delhi, India — At least 13 people died after falling into a well at a wedding in northern India Wednesday night, authorities said.

They were sitting on a concrete slab that covered an old village well when it collapsed under their weight, senior police officer Akhil Kumar told the news agency ANI.

Seven women and six girls — including the infant — lost their lives. At least two other people who also fell in were treated at a hospital in the Kushinagar district in state of Uttar Pradesh, where the ceremony was being held.
