Shimla/ Manali, July 26,
On Friday morning, a private bus operated by New Prem Bus Service Transport met with an accident near Banupul, close to the popular tourist destination of Manali in Himachal Pradesh. The bus, en route to Pathankot with 12 passengers, including the driver and conductor, lost control and plunged 20 feet into the Beas river around 8 a.m., shortly after departing from Manali.
The mishap left eight passengers injured. Six of them are currently receiving treatment at the Community Health Center in Manali, while two others are being cared for at a private hospital. Fortunately, all injured passengers are reported to be out of danger.
Eyewitnesses reported hearing screams from the accident site, prompting local residents to rush to the scene. They immediately alerted the authorities, and the police, along with local volunteers, promptly arrived to assist in the rescue operation. The injured were quickly transported to the hospital via 108 ambulance services.
The accident also damaged a car that was caught beneath the bus. Police officials noted brake marks on the road where the bus veered off the highway, suggesting possible loss of control.
DSP Manali, KD Sharma, confirmed that a case has been registered, and a detailed investigation into the cause of the accident is underway. The police are scrutinizing all aspects, including the bus’s mechanical condition and driver error, to determine the exact cause of the crash. Meanwhile, authorities have ensured that all necessary medical care is being provided to the injured passengers.
