Two passengers were killed and 10 others injured when a private bus overturned in Madhya Pradesh’s Indore district on Thursday, a police official said.
The accident took place in the Manpur area when the bus was on its way to Indore from Nashik in neighboring Maharashtra, he said.
The bus driver, in order to avoid hitting a stationary cement-laden truck parked on a roadside on the Mumbai-Agra national highway, turned the vehicle at high speed following which it overturned, the official said.
Two men were killed in the accident, he said, adding that they were yet to be identified.
The injured 10 people were admitted to different hospitals in Indore and Manpur, the official said.
