Shimla | TNR

The NH 05 was the scene of another accident for a second consecutive day on Sunday, when a truck laden with apples rammed a private bus injuring 21 people, 5 of who are said to be in a critical condition.

The bus was carrying 35 passengers. The accident occurred around 11.30 am near Sanwara railway overbridge in Solan district.

Injured admitted

The injured were admitted to the Primary Health Centre, Dharampur, where first aid was administered.

Those critically injured were referred to Solan and Parwanoo hospitals from here. According to the State Disaster Management Authority, truck number from Rajasthan, carrying apples, lost control and collided with the private bus from Himachal.

Second accident on consecutive day on NH 05

The NH 05 was the site of another horrific accident just a day back when a truck hit 14 vehicles from the rear.

This being a common occurrence, particularly during the apple season, the police have appealed to truck drivers entering Himachal from other states to be careful and alert while driving because most of them have little or no experience of driving on the hill roads.
