Triple Collision on Ahmedabad-Vadodara Expressway; 10 Injured

Anand: Ten passengers were injured in a three-vehicle collision involving a luxury bus, a truck carrying heavy machinery and a tanker on the Ahmedabad-Vadodara Expressway near Anand early on Friday.

The accident occurred when the truck driver reportedly lost control and rammed into the rear of a private luxury bus travelling from Surat to Ambaji with pilgrims on board. The impact pushed the bus into a tanker moving ahead of it, damaging both the front and rear sections of the bus.

All 10 injured passengers were shifted to a hospital in Karamsad for treatment in 108 ambulances. No fatalities were reported.

Following the accident, the Expressway patrolling team, Anand Fire Brigade and local police rushed to the spot and rescued passengers trapped inside the bus.

The collision also disrupted traffic on the Vadodara-to-Ahmedabad stretch of the expressway, causing a temporary congestion. The damaged vehicles were subsequently removed with the help of a crane, and traffic movement was restored.

Police have registered a case and initiated further investigation into the accident. DeshGujarat
