A crane moving at high speed struck a bus that was passing near an oil tanker on a Gujarat road, leaving ten people injured.
A crane operating at excessive speed rammed into a passenger bus that was traveling alongside an oil tanker on a highway in Gujarat. The impact forced the bus into the tanker, causing a spill of fuel and significant damage to both vehicles.
Emergency services arrived quickly, evacuating the injured to nearby hospitals. Ten individuals, including the bus driver and several passengers, were reported to have sustained injuries ranging from minor cuts to more serious trauma. No fatalities were reported.
Local police have opened an investigation into the incident, focusing on the crane operator's alleged violation of speed regulations and possible lapses in site safety protocols. Authorities said they will also examine whether the oil tanker was properly secured at the time of the collision.
Traffic on the affected stretch of road was temporarily halted while rescue teams cleared the wreckage. Officials have urged motorists to exercise caution and comply with safety directives at construction zones to prevent similar accidents in the future.
