Bus accident in Patki jungle, 20 hurt

Friday, 30 June 2023 | M F AHMAD | DALTONGANJ

A private bus Raja Saheb coming from Ranchi to Daltonganj met with an accident on NH 75 at the Patki jungle on Wednesday. 

 

An official of this bus service Mintoo said the driver of the bus had to divert  the bus from the NH 75 to the jungle across it following a high speed truck  coming from the opposite direction, and was about to collide with the bus head on. 

 

Mintoo said had the driver not diverted the bus, its head-on collision with the truck coming from the opposite direction  was inevitable and nobody could have then guessed how horrible this head-on collision would have taken the lives of the passengers.  

 

The bus on its curving in the jungles hit a tree leading to injuries to around two dozen passengers who were treated at the government health centre. There is no loss of life said Mintoo.
