Speeding bus rams into car, 1 critical

According to information, the accident took place around 7.30 am when a private bus coming from Mohali, rammed into an Esteem, which entered the highway from a link road leading to the police station.

The impact of the accident was so strong that the bus dragged the car to a nearby field where the mangled remains of both the vehicles finally settled.

The seriously injured car driver was rushed to the PGI in Chandigarh, where he is struggling for life while the injured bus passengers were taken to a private clinic for first-aid. It was alleged that despite repeated calls, no ambulance was made available from the Kharar Civil Hospital to ferry the car driver to the PGI. The hospital authorities, however, expressed ignorance over the matter.
