Two people lost their lives in the incident, while several others were injured. The injured have been admitted to different hospitals for treatment.

According to eyewitnesses, the accident took place around 1:30 am. The bus was reportedly moving at high speed, estimated between 80 to 100 km/h. After losing balance, the bus overturned one or two times. Locals said the हादसा happened so suddenly that passengers had no time to react.

An eyewitness said that after the bus overturned, there was chaos and cries all around. Many passengers, including women and children, were trapped inside. A small child got stuck between the seats, while a woman was also severely trapped. People present at the spot immediately started rescue efforts, and around 100–150 locals worked together to stabilize the bus and pull out the injured.

According to locals, it took nearly 30 minutes to an hour to rescue all passengers. Many victims were bleeding and in severe pain, and around 8–10 people were reported to be seriously injured. One person said he personally rescued a young girl, while another child aged around 5–6 years was pulled out after much effort.
