Bhopal: Around 10 people have been injured after a collision between two buses occurred on Thursday on the Tikamgarh-Sagar road near the Baragaon police station area in Tikamgarh district, officials said.
The incident, which took place just a few meters away from the police station, was reported by officials and has been attributed to poor visibility caused by hazy weather and light drizzling in morning hours.
Kailash Patel, the traffic inspector, Tikamgarh explained that the drivers of both buses were attempting to navigate a blind turn on a table-top road.
During the manoeuver, the rear section of one bus struck the front of the other, causing one of the buses to plunge into a five-foot-deep roadside trench.
Both the buses are owned by same private operator. This unfortunate turn of events occurred near a CM Rise School, now renamed (Sandipani Vidyalaya), at approximately 7 a.m.
One of the buses, en route from Tikamgarh to Sagar, was carrying several passengers, ten of whom sustained serious injuries. Emergency services promptly transported all injured individuals to the Baragaon Community Health Center for immediate treatment.
Those requiring advanced care were later referred to Tikamgarh District Hospital. According to medical professionals at the Baragaon Government Hospital, one individual remains in critical condition.
