Three people were killed when a truck went out of control in Katni, Madhya Pradesh, India. The incident involved the truck ramming into a car, hitting a bus, and crashing into a bridge.
An out-of-control truck rammed into a car, hit a bus and crashed into a bridge in Katni, Madhya Pradesh, on Sunday (June 14, 2026), leaving three passengers in the bus dead and 29 injured, police said.
The accident occurred near the Industrial Area bridge under the Kuthla police station limits, when the bus, carrying around 35 passengers, was travelling from Katni to Vijayraghavgarh Kymore, while the truck was coming from the opposite direction, Superintendent of Police Abhinav Vishwakarma told PTI over the phone.
Preliminary investigation suggested that the truck driver lost control of the wheel due to a brake failure, he said.
The collision impact caused the bus to overturn, leaving several passengers trapped. A crane was used to lift the bus and rescue the passengers in an operation that lasted more than 35 minutes, he added.
Locals joined police personnel and administrative officials in rescue operations.
The deceased passengers were identified as Kishan Kol (30), Neelam Prajapati, and Raju Choudhary, police said.
A girl, who sustained serious injuries, had been shifted to the government medical college and hospital in Jabalpur divisional headquarters, while others were being treated in the district hospital, said Mr. Vishwakarma.
The truck driver was also injured.
Eyewitnesses said the collision triggered panic, trapping passengers inside and beneath the overturned bus. One person was trapped inside the truck's cabin.
The accident disrupted traffic on the Katni-Vijayraghavgarh Road for nearly an hour before being restored, police said.
