Four people died and 10 others were injured after a truck rammed into a stationary bus in Bihar’s Muzaffarpur. The accident took place on NH-28 near Nariyar village in Minapur assembly constituency. The injured persons were rushed to Sri Krishna Medical College and Hospital (SKMCH), whereas the bodies of the deceased have been sent for the post-mortem. The truck driver and the helper fled the scene after the accident. According to information, both the truck and bus were completely wrecked after the accident.
Muzaffarpur West Superintendent of Police (SP) Syed Imran Masood informed that the bus was ferrying ‘baraatis’ and had taken a halt at a hotel while returning from the wedding. Some of the people were standing on the rear side of the commercial vehicle, and suddenly a wild truck hit the bus from behind, police said, adding that the baraat had come from Gaighat to Motipur town.
