At least seven people were killed near Cuddalore in Tamil Nadu on Wednesday after a government bus swerved to the opposite side and collided with two vehicles, police said.
The bus changed direction due
to a tyre burst, they said.
A Chennai-bound state-run bus from Tiruchirappalli, while proceeding on the national highway near Cuddalore, changed direction all of a sudden when a tyre burst and moved to the opposite direction after climbing onto the road median.
“The bus collided head-on with 2 vehicles (a SUV and a car) that were proceeding towards Tiruchirappalli from Chennai; 7 occupants of the 2 private vehicles were killed,” a district police official told PTI, adding a number of people have been injured.
