A bus and a bulk carrier collided on the Rewa‑Sidhi highway in Madhya Pradesh, overturning the bus into a ditch and leaving several passengers injured, with some feared trapped. Relatives of the victims appealed for restraint, urging onlookers not to record videos of the scene.
A severe road accident occurred on the Rewa‑Sidhi highway in the Gudh police jurisdiction of Madhya Pradesh when a passenger bus collided head‑on with a bulk carrier. The impact forced the bus off the road into a roadside ditch, causing it to overturn.
Emergency teams, including police, ambulance services and local fire‑rescue units, rushed to the site. Preliminary reports indicate that dozens of passengers sustained injuries ranging from minor cuts to serious fractures, and a few are feared to be trapped under the wreckage.
Witnesses described a chaotic scene as relatives scrambled to locate their loved ones. Many were heard shouting, “ऐ वीडियो मत बनाओ,” urging onlookers not to film the tragedy. Authorities have asked the public to cooperate with rescue operations and refrain from obstructing the area.
The district administration has launched an inquiry to determine the cause of the collision, examining factors such as vehicle speed, road conditions and possible driver fatigue. Officials have warned commuters to exercise caution on the busy Rewa‑Sidhi stretch, especially during peak travel hours.
The injured have been transported to nearby hospitals for treatment, and a detailed casualty count will be released once the rescue effort concludes.
