Bhubaneswar: At least 10 persons were injured after a bus they were travelling in overturned near Satasankha in between Puri and Bhubaneswar.
According to reports, the bus was overloaded with passengers returning from Puri after attending the Suna Besha festival on Sunday.
When the bus was close to Jasuapur in Satasankha under Pipili police limits, it flipped over to one side on the NH 316. Sources said, the driver lost control on the wheels which led to the mishap.
Bad weather and less visibility was also one of the reasons because of which the bus rammed into the road divider and overturned, onlookers said.
The injured persons were shifted to a nearest hospital and are stated to be stable. Police and emergency services personnel rushed to the spot and carried out rescue operations.
