Melbourne, Aug 9 - An Indian student was killed and six Indians were injured Sunday when a mini bus in which they were travelling veered off a road on the way to the Australian resort town of Mount Buller.

The man who died at the scene was a 22-year-old who was in Australia on an Indian student visa, The Herald Sun quoted investigators as saying. Mount Buller is over 230 km from here.

There were 10 people in the Toyota Hi-Ace when it slid down a steep embankment after a sweeping right turn. The van slammed into a tree.

Among the passengers, three were Australian residents and seven were on Indian student visas.
