Ferozepur : Five persons, including a woman and her daughter, were killed when a private bus rammed into a truck near Arayiawala village in Makhu, 40 km from here, today. The bus was on its way from Ferozepur to Amritsar.
Eyewitnesses said the accident occurred as the bus driver tried to overtake the truck. Three of the deceased have been identified as Kulwinder Kaur, her daughter Pawandeep Kaur (6), and Narinder Kaur.
Kulwinder’s husband Gurjit Singh, along with their two other children, was trailing the bus on his motorcycle.
More than 10 passengers sustained injuries. They have been hospitalised. Among the injured is Harcharan Singh, deceased Narinder Kaur’s husband. They were on their way to Amritsar to pay obeisance at the Golden Temple. “We wanted to thank the Almighty as our dream to move abroad had finally come true. Our visas had just arrived,” said, Harcharan.
