At least 23 people were killed and several others were injured after a container truck collided with a bus in India’s northeastern state of Assam, police said.
The accident took place on Friday on a highway located near the UNESCO World Heritage site of Kaziranga National Park, which is famous for its one-horned rhinoceroses.
Swapnaneel Deka, superintendent of police of Golaghat district, said the bus was travelling to a neighbouring district, with around 30 people on board. The driver of the truck was injured.
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said in a post on X that he was deeply distressed by the tragic accident and had sent a senior minister to the site to oversee relief arrangements.
