Vadodara: One dead, 12 injured in Pavagadh accident

VADODARA: A woman from the city died and 12 others were injured while returning from a pilgrimage to Pavagadh. The bus they were travelling in turned over while negotiating a turn.

A group from the Vadsar area of the city had hired a minibus to go to Pavagadh. The group visited the temple and was on its way back when the accident took place. It is believed that the bus driver lost control at a turn and the bus overturned near the Bavaman Masjid on the hilly road.

People present near the accident site rushed to the bus to help the passengers. Pavagadh police also rushed to the spot and started rescuing the passengers. Sources said that since the bus was lying on its side, it had to be brought on its wheels again to rescue the passengers. The injured were rushed to the hospital.

Thirteen passengers from the bus were shifted to the hospital. Of these, Geeta Singh was declared dead on arrival at the hospital. Five seriously injured pilgrims were given primary treatment at the hospital and were then rushed to Vadodara for further treatment.
