At least seven people lost their lives and several others sustained injuries on Thursday when a Patna-bound bus met with an accident in Jharkhand’s Hazaribag district. The incident occurred near the Gorhar Police Station, approximately 50 km from the district headquarters, as the bus failed to navigate a sharp bend, according to officials. “Seven deaths have been confirmed so far. There is a possibility that more people might be trapped inside the bus,” Hazaribag Superintendent of Police Arvind Kumar Singh stated.
The bus, carrying about 50 passengers, was traveling from Kolkata to Patna at the time of the crash.
Passenger Motichand Prasad, who survived the accident, shared the devastating news that his wife, Rajkumari Prasad, was among the deceased. “We were asleep when the accident occurred early in the morning. We had boarded the bus in Kolkata on Wednesday night for Bihar,” said Prasad, a resident of Bihar’s Gopalganj to PTI.
Another passenger, Ganesh Kumar from Bihar Sharif, recounted that the accident occurred around 6 AM. “The bus had about 50 passengers. While taking a sharp turn, the driver lost control, and the bus overturned,” he explained.
A police official at the site reported that at least 10 of the injured are in critical condition, and rescue operations are ongoing to ensure no one remains trapped.
