Nadiad, Gujarat: In a tragic incident on Friday night, a cement tanker collided with a bus on the Ahmedabad-Vadodara Expressway in Nadiad, Gujarat, resulting in two fatalities and several injuries. The bus, en route from Ahmedabad to Pune with 23 passengers onboard, crashed through the roadside railing, plunging 25 feet below.
Rajesh Gadhiya, Superintendent of Police, stated, “The bus was going from Ahmedabad to Pune in which there were about 23 passengers. The driver of a cement tanker suddenly turned left and hit the bus. Two people have died, and several people have been injured. Their treatment is underway. A case will be filed against the tanker driver, and further legal action will be taken.”
This tragic incident follows another mishap earlier in the week when a tanker overturned on the Ahmedabad-Mumbai National Highway, sparking a fire near Vaghaldhara village in Gujarat’s Valsad district. Dungri police, along with multiple fire tenders, promptly responded to the scene upon receiving the alert.
Authorities are conducting investigations into both incidents to determine the causes and take appropriate actions. The safety of road transport remains a crucial concern, emphasizing the need for stringent measures to prevent such tragic accidents in the future.
