The incident caused chaos on the highway, disrupting traffic for a while. Approximately 28 to 30 employees were aboard the bus, with 14 reported injuries.
Upon receiving news of the accident, the Dadri police quickly arrived at the scene to initiate rescue operations. According to police reports, the bus was traveling from Kasna towards Dadri when the driver suddenly swerved to avoid a vehicle ahead.
