Rajasthan: Around two dozen people were injured when a speeding bus hit a divider and overturned on the Delhi-Mumbai Express Highway in Rajasthan's Dausa on Wednesday morning.
The incident occurred around 6 am near channel number 165 of the express highway, close to Peechupara village. Upon hearing the victims' screams, residents from the nearby villages of Peechupara and Somada rushed to the scene and called for an ambulance.
With the help of the locals, the victims were admitted to the Dausa district hospital, where treatment is underway.
Two individuals who were seriously injured were referred to Jaipur for better medical care, while others were admitted to the district hospital in Dausa, receiving primary treatment and some were discharged.
The bus, carrying pilgrims, was returning to Jaipur from Haridwar after their pilgrimage. Reportedly, the accident occurred because the driver fell asleep at the wheel. This is not the first accident case reported on the Delhi-Mumbai Express Highway.
Over the past 10 months, around 100 people have lost their lives on this highway, indicating a troubling frequency of such incidents on this highway.
Earlier, on May 12, three people of the same family were killed and half a dozen, including four children, were injured in a road accident on the Delhi-Mumbai Express Highway in Rajasthan's Dausa.
All the family members were travelling in a car from Ahmedabad to Haridwar when a speeding truck hit their vehicle near Bada village.
