At least 35 people sustained injuries in a collision between a truck and a bus in Himachal Pradesh’s Solan district on Sunday.
The incident took place near Jabli-Dharampur around 11.30 am, when the truck hit the rear end of the bus.
The truck driver lost control of the vehicle and it rammed into the bus which overturned and clung to the crash barrier thus saving it narrowly from slipping into the gorge below. Both the vehicles overturned after the collision, a state disaster management official said.
Both vehicles were en route Solan-Parwanoo when the mishap occurred.
There were 32 passengers in the bus out of which ten sustained serious injuries while three people in the truck too were injured. The injured have been admitted to the civil hospital Dharampur for treatment, he said.
