Bus accident in Madhya Pradesh kills 15 UP workers on their way home for Diwali
Fifteen people were killed and around 35 injured when a passenger bus rammed into a parked truck in Madhya Pradesh's Rewa district on Friday night, an official said on Saturday.
The bus, carrying around 100 people, was on its way to Gorakhpur in Uttar Pradesh when it rammed into a truck parked near Suhagi Pahari in Rewa last night.
The accident took place on October 21, 2022, at around 11:30 pm.
According to the police, 20 of the 40 people injured in the accident have been admitted to Prayagraj Hospital in Uttar Pradesh. "All the occupants of the bus were residents of Uttar Pradesh," Rewa Superintendent of Police Naveen Bhasin Said.
