Dausa, Jan 2
More than 24 people sustained injuries in a collision between a bus and a truck in Rajasthan's Dausa early on Thursday morning due to poor visibility as a result of a heavy fog in the area, according to the local police.
Among them, several critically injured passengers were rushed to Jaipur for advanced medical treatment.
The Volvo bus, carrying pilgrims from Ujjain to Delhi, was involved in an accident at around 6:00 a.m. near pillar number 198 on the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway. Heavy fog is believed to have significantly reduced visibility, leading to the mishap.
Detailing the incident, Deputy SP Charul Gupta said, "An accident occurred at pillar number 198 on the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway. Due to heavy fog in the morning, a bus carrying pilgrims from Ujjain to Delhi collided with a truck."
"Approximately 20 people were injured, including four with serious injuries. Twelve of the injured have been referred to Jaipur for treatment," she further mentioned.
