Horrific road accident in Gossaigaon: Over 10 seriously injured in Bhutan bus crash

A major road accident occurred this afternoon at Gurufela on National Highway 27 in the Gossaigaon subdivision in Assam on July 26. 

A Bhutan passenger bus collided with a cement-laden mini truck, resulting in a horrific crash that left over 10 passengers seriously injured.

The Bhutan bus, which was travelling from Bongaigaon towards Gossaigaon, reportedly rammed into the rear of a vehicle in front that had slowed down. At the same time, a cement-laden mini truck bearing registration number WB 73 - 9301 was approaching from the opposite direction.

In the confusion and miscalculation, the Bhutan-registered bus (BP-1 A0042) lost control and crashed into the mini truck.

The front section of both vehicles sustained extensive damage. Two labourers from the cement truck and eight bus passengers — including several students — were seriously injured. 

All injured individuals were immediately taken to a hospital via ambulance for emergency treatment.

Local residents were quick to come to the aid of the injured, providing water and first aid before medical help arrived. However, there was growing anger among the public due to the delayed arrival of the police at the scene.
