5 INJURED IN A BUS ACCIDENT
(From Our Special Correspondent)
Jangipur,
May 12, 2024: 5 persons including a woman and a child were seriously injured in
a bus accident near Omorpur about 3 km from Jangipur this morning at 8.00 am.
According
to an eye witness, the accident occurred when a Lalgola bound private bus
running at breakneck speed suddenly saw a loaded truck before and pressed its
brake but the brake failed and collided with the truck with a terrible sound.
The local people rushed to the spot and helped the persons come out of the bus.
Later the injured passengers were taken to Jangipur Sadar Hospital and they
were released after first aids. An irate mob set fire to the private bus
blocking the main road in protest against rash driving. Later, police reached
the spot and resorted to lathi charge to disperse the angry crowd. Traffic was
disrupted for about two hours. This resulted in a huge traffic jam. But
normalcy was restored with the police intervention.
