Two youths were killed after an Himachal Road Transport Corporation (HRTC) bus collided with a motorcycle near Krishna Nursery in Katohar Khurd, in the Amb area of Himachal Pradesh’s Una district.
The deceased have been identified as Yogesh Kumar and Aman Bhatia, both residents of Stothar in Amb. Following the accident, local residents rushed the injured youths to the Community Health Centre (CHC) in Amb, where doctors declared them dead.
According to the police, the accident occurred when an HRTC bus allegedly hit the motorcycle due to the driver’s negligence. The impact was so severe that the bus dragged the motorcycle across the road to the opposite side.
Ashish Kumar, a resident of Pratap Nagar in Amb, told the police that he was returning home on his scooter after closing his service station when the accident took place near Krishna Nursery.
The police subsequently initiated legal proceedings against the bus driver, identified as Bachittar Singh. DSP Amb Anil Patial confirmed that a case had been registered against the driver and that an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the accident was underway.
The bodies were sent for post-mortem examination and later handed over to the families.
