Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh: <\/b><\/p>\n
At least 25 persons were injured, two of them seriously, when the Gujarat-bound bus they were travelling in overturned after falling off a culvert in Ujjain district of Madhya Pradesh, a senior official said on Sunday.<\/p>\n
The accident occurred late Saturday night, he said.<\/p>\n
“Nearly 25 passengers were injured, two of them critically, when the bus on its way to Rajkot from Indore fell off a culvert on Bhuki Mata Bypass after picking up passengers from Ujjain,” Collector Kumar Purshottam told PTI over phone.<\/p>\n
The injured were rushed to the district hospital, the Ujjain collector said.<\/p>\n
Most of the victims had visited the famous Mahakaleshwar temple in Ujjain to offer prayers, police said.<\/p>\n
Mahakal area City Superintendent of Police (CSP) Omprakash Mishra said initial investigation suggested that the bus with around 35 passengers on board was being driven in a rash manner.<\/p>\n
After the bus overturned, its front wheels and engine got separated from the vehicle, he said.<\/p>\n
The bus skidded off the road and fell 8-feet down before turning turtle, he said, adding that the incident took place at a blind turn, which is an accident-prone area.<\/p>\n
“We have filed a case of rash driving against the bus driver, who is being treated at the district hospital,” Mishra said.<\/p>\n
