A DTC bus crash in Delhi’s Anand Parbat area killed one person and injured several others on Saturday morning after the bus collided with people travelling in multiple vehicles, according to a report by Jagran. Police have registered a case and begun investigating the circumstances of the incident.
The crash took place in Anand Parbat, a densely built area of central-west Delhi, during the morning. The report said the DTC bus was travelling at high speed when it struck several people riding in vehicles. It did not provide the route number of the bus, the precise location of the collision or the total number of injured people.
Police reached the spot after receiving information about the accident. The deceased person’s body was taken into custody and sent for post-mortem examination, while those injured were admitted to a hospital for treatment, the report said.
The identities of the deceased and injured people were not disclosed in the available report. The severity of the injuries, the hospital where the victims were admitted and whether any passengers on the bus were among those hurt were also not immediately available.
The incident has brought attention to the risks faced by road users around Delhi’s busy corridors, where buses, two-wheelers, cars and pedestrians often share limited road space. However, the available information does not establish the exact sequence of events or whether road conditions, traffic movement, mechanical failure or driver conduct contributed to the crash.
Police are examining the circumstances of the collision as part of their investigation. The findings will be required to establish how the bus came into contact with the other road users and whether any violations or negligence were involved.
Further details, including the number of injured people, the identity of the deceased and the outcome of the police investigation, are awaited.
