UP: 23 injured as bus, mini truck collide in fog
Early Saturday morning, a bus packed with devotees crashed into a mini truck on the Ayodhya-Prayagraj highway near Jogapur, leaving 23 people hurt.
Both vehicles were headed to Prayagraj for the Magh Mela's Mauni Amavasya holy dip.
The accident happened around 3:15 to 3:30am during an overtaking attempt in thick fog.
The injured were admitted to Pratapgarh medical college and other nearby hospitals, with one of the seriously injured victims referred to Swaroop Rani Nehru Hospital in Prayagraj.
What happened next?
After the crash, police seized the bus since its driver took off and is now being searched for.
Officials are reminding everyone to slow down and use fog lights when visibility is bad—especially since this isn't the first major accident caused by heavy fog in Uttar Pradesh lately.
