The injured are admitted to Indira Gandhi Medical College and Hospital (IGMCH) and many of them are nursing their serious injuries and listed as critical, the police have said.
The 42-seater bus of Ramtek depot (MH-40/9964) was going to Parsheoni from Ramtek and 35 passengers were seated in the ill fated vehicle when the tragedy cut short the journey. The bus driver took a turn for Parsheoni at Amdi by-pass when the truck (UP-70/BT-3626) loaded with chilly rammed into the bus. The truck was coming from Nagpur and was heading towards the Jabalpur while the bus drive took a turn for Parsheoni when the collision occurred, the police concurred after the spot inspection. The bus was dragged for nearly 50 feet by the truck which eye witnesses said was being driven at menancing speed. The bus came to halt after the truck dashed into a gas tanker (NL-01/K-6671) parked by road side. However by that time the truck had lost the speed and hence the impact of crash into tanker did not explode into another big tragedy.
