    15 laborers travelling home for Diwali die in bus-truck collision
    Most of the laborers killed in the accident were on way home for Diwali

    At least 15 persons died and 40 others were injured after a bus ferrying them crashed into a stationary truck in Madhya Pradesh's Rewa district. The bus was on its way to Gorakhpur when it rammed into a mangled truck that had collided with another vehicle late on Friday night. At the time of accident, about 100 passengers, primarily laborers from UP, were onboard.

    According to officials, those injured in the accident were sent to a nearby hospital in Suhagi, and seriously wounded were being treated at Rewa's Sanjay Gandhi Memorial Hospital. The majority of the passengers on the bus were laborers from Uttar Pradesh who were returning home for Diwali, said Rewa Superintendent of Police Navneet Bhasin.

    Laborers initially arrived from Hyderabad

    According to reports, the laborers arrived in Katni from Hyderabad on a different vehicle and then boarded another bus bound for Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh, when the incident occurred. Some bystanders called the police soon after the accident. Meanwhile, Madhya Pradesh Police has filed a case and an investigation is underway to determine the exact reason for the accident.
