Over Two Dozen Injured as Bus and Truck Collide on NH-730 in Pilibhit

A major road accident on NH-730 in Pilibhit, Uttar Pradesh, left over two dozen passengers injured after a bus traveling from Nepal to Delhi collided with a truck near Sakariya Power House. Emergency teams and Gajraula police responded to the midnight crash. Read the full report on the rescue operations and current road safety conditions.

 

In a harrowing overnight collision on National Highway 730, at least 24 people sustained injuries after a passenger bus collided with a heavy truck near the Sakariya Power House bend in Uttar Pradesh’s Pilibhit district. The incident, which occurred around 2:30 AM, involved a bus transporting laborers from Nepal to Delhi. The force of the impact was so severe that both vehicles overturned, leaving passengers trapped amidst the wreckage and resulting in the immediate death of a stray animal caught in the crossfire.

Emergency services were quickly dispatched to the scene following the high-speed impact. Utilizing NH Ambulance 1033, first responders evacuated the injured to the Puranpur Community Health Center (CHC) and the Pilibhit Medical College for urgent treatment. Local law enforcement from the Gajraula Police Station arrived shortly after to manage the chaos, with Station Officer Brajveer Singh leading the rescue efforts and ensuring that medical attention was prioritized for the most critically wounded.

The collision caused significant disruption to traffic flow on the busy highway, requiring an intensive cleanup operation to clear the overturned vehicles. Under the supervision of local authorities, the road was eventually reopened to the public. While an official investigation into the exact cause of the crash is ongoing, preliminary reports suggest that the dark, winding stretch near the power house remains a high-risk zone for long-haul drivers. This incident underscores the persistent safety challenges on regional highways, particularly for migrant laborers traveling long distances across borders under precarious conditions.
