Serious Injuries Sent to KGMU Trauma Centre Following Bus Flip

A bus en route from Rewari (Haryana) to Chapra (Bihar) overturned on the Lucknow‑Agra Expressway at the Zero Point Mohan junction on Monday morning. The vehicle was packed with roughly 50‑60 passengers when it lost stability and toppled at about 07:08.

Police and fire‑rescue teams arrived promptly after receiving the distress call. Chief Fire Officer Ankur Mittal oversaw the deployment of a fire tender, a rescue vehicle, and a high‑tech Multi‑Disaster Rescue Vehicle (MDRV) sourced from nearby fire stations.

The collaborative operation between law‑enforcement and fire personnel succeeded in extracting 15‑16 occupants, including a small child, from the wreckage within a tight 35‑minute window. The swift extraction was possible due to the MDRV’s specialized equipment.

Several individuals sustained serious injuries. They were loaded onto ambulances and taken to the KGMU Trauma Centre, where critical medical attention is being provided. While the exact number of fatalities is yet to be officially confirmed, early reports suggest that there may have been deaths.

The incident coincided with another tragic event involving a tractor‑trailer carrying devotees returning from a Diwali celebration in Chitrakoot. That crash resulted in four deaths and more than a dozen injuries, prompting further emergency response from local authorities.

Both accidents have reignited calls for stricter enforcement of road safety regulations and faster emergency medical response along the region’s major highways.
