10 Passengers Killed In Accident

Nashik, 22nd July : Ten passengers were killed and twenty-three others injured when a private bus overturned near the Sinnar bypass on the Nashik–Pune highway early this morning.

According to the police, the bus was coming from Pune with sixty-two passengers on board. The driver is believed to have lost control while trying to overtake a truck on the wet road, and the bus turned over twice before coming to rest in a ditch. Villagers and a passing ambulance crew broke the windows and pulled the passengers out.

The injured were rushed to the district civil hospital, where the condition of six is said to be serious. The Superintendent of Police visited the spot and announced a compensation of ₹50,000 for the family of each of the dead and free treatment for the injured.

The driver, who fled from the spot, has been traced and arrested. The Regional Transport Office has ordered an enquiry into the fitness of the bus and the driver’s licence.
