Uttarakhand bus accident kills two scooter riders

A passenger bus overturned on the Rishikesh-Badrinath Highway in Tehri Garhwal, Uttarakhand, resulting in the deaths of two individuals on scooters. The accident occurred near Dhalwala as the bus was traveling from Janaki Setu parking toward Delhi.

The bus, which carried approximately 50 to 60 passengers, reportedly experienced brake failure while descending a slope. While the majority of the passengers were safe, 11 to 13 people sustained injuries and were transported to hospitals for treatment.

Emergency responders, including the SDRF, local police, and ambulance services, arrived at the scene to conduct rescue operations. Authorities are currently working to identify the two deceased scooter riders who were struck by the vehicle. Traffic on the highway has since been restored.
