Shahjahanpur: A private bus going from Nepal to Chandigarh rammed into a tractor-trolley moving ahead of it amid dense fog here on Monday, injuring 10 people, police said.

The condition of three of the injured, including a toddler, is stated to be serious, they said.

Superintendent of Police (SP) Rajesh S said the bus was going to Chandigarh from Nepal. When it reached Tikunia on Assam Road in the Khutar police station area, it collided with the tractor-trolley that was moving ahead of it due to low visibility caused by fog.

Ten people were injured in the accident. Bus driver Vishal (44) and a woman, Sita (28), and her son Sushil (3) sustained serious injuries. They are undergoing treatment at the government medical college. The remaining injured were discharged after first-aid, he said.
