Three Killed and Several Injured in Chhattisgarh Bus-Truck CollisionPreviousNext

A bus carrying 22 passengers crashed into a stationary, broken-down truck near Darchura village in Chhattisgarh's Balodabazar-Bhatapara district around 5:30 am on Monday. Despite traffic cones placed to warn drivers, the bus driver reportedly failed to notice them, resulting in the collision. Three people died and eight to ten others were injured. Rescue teams used gas cutters to extricate the injured, who were then taken to a government hospital in Simga.
