Mohali, May 9

Two passengers died while 25 others were injured when a rashly-driven Haryana Roadways bus collided with a private bus near Kurali in Ropar district on a narrow bridge on the night intervening Sunday and Monday.

Police said the accident took place around 12.30 am when the Faridabad-bound bus, coming from Baijnath, in a bid to overtake a car hit the private bus coming from the other side.

Eyewitnesses said after the accident, the bus hung precariously from the over-bridge for sometime before it was winched.

Some of the injured have been discharged from the hospital.

Passengers complained that the Haryana Roadways bus driver had been warned repeatedly for driving rashly but he did not pay any heed, said the cops.
