A Delhi bus accident in the Anand Parbat area left one person dead and five others injured after a Delhi Transport Corporation bus hit a scooter on Saturday, according to police sources cited by the Times of India. The collision took place in the DBG Road area.
Two men were riding the scooter when it was struck by the DTC bus, the report said. Both sustained serious injuries and were taken to a hospital. One of them was later declared dead, while the condition of the other injured scooter rider was not provided in the available account.
The bus reportedly went out of control after hitting the scooter. At least four other people were injured in the subsequent incident, police sources said. The report did not provide details about whether those injured were passengers on the bus, pedestrians or other road users.
The collision occurred in Anand Parbat, a densely built part of central Delhi where DBG Road carries local traffic through a heavily urbanised area. The supplied report does not establish the speed of the bus, the traffic conditions at the time, the precise sequence of the collision or whether any traffic signal or road-design factor was involved.
Police sources described the information as preliminary. No details were provided in the report about the identity of the deceased person, the injured individuals, the driver, the bus route or the registration details of the scooter. The report also did not mention whether a case had been registered or whether the bus driver had been detained or questioned.
The incident places renewed attention on the safety risks faced by two-wheeler riders and other road users around large public buses, but the available information does not establish the cause of the crash. The circumstances will depend on the findings of the police investigation and any subsequent official statements.
The Times of India report said the injured people were taken to a hospital after the collision. Further information on the investigation, the condition of the surviving injured persons and any legal action was not available in the supplied report.
