In a separate incident earlier on Friday, four people were killed and 11 others injured after a speeding canter truck hit a stationary roadways bus near Keelar Mau village under Bagwala Police Station limits in Etah district, officials said.
According to Etah District Magistrate Arvind Singh, the bus had stopped on the roadside for repairs when the collision occurred, triggering a pile-up involving another truck.
“Sixteen people were brought to the hospital, where doctors declared four of them brought dead. Out of the remaining injured individuals, one patient is currently in incubation and is being stabilised in a special ICU. Eleven others are injured and undergoing treatment, but they are out of danger,” Singh said.
Police said preliminary findings suggest the canter driver failed to notice the stationary bus, leading to the crash. Further investigation is underway.
