At least 26 killed in head-on collision between bus and truck in India

An Indian minibus carrying 40 people was traveling from Jorhat, Assam, to Guwahati, the largest city in the state, on the afternoon of the 13th. Unexpectedly, it collided head-on with a truck on the way, killing at least 26 people.

According to the Times of India, Indian officials revealed that the car accident occurred on the Rangajan section of Highway 715 near Hatikuli Tea Estate. Signs at the scene indicated that the minibus was suspected of speeding.

In addition, it can be seen from the truck's driving recorder that the bus seemed to have crossed the lane and hit the opposite direction. However, the details still need to be clarified, and the injured have been sent to a nearby hospital for treatment. Indian Prime Minister Modi expressed condolences for the accident and will pay 200,000 Indian rupees (approximately NT$70,000) to the family of the deceased.
