A 23-year-old man on his way to the Kanwar Yatra was killed and two others injured when their motorcycle collided with a government bus on Friday, police reported. The three Kanwariyas were traveling on a motorcycle when the accident occurred at the Shyampur flyover on the Haridwar–Najibabad National Highway in Uttarakhand, according to the Station House Officer (SHO) of Shyampur, Nitesh Sharma.
Manish Kumar, a resident of Gandhi Colony in Faridabad, lost his life in the crash. His companions, Kamal and Mayank, sustained injuries and are currently receiving treatment at the district hospital. Emergency services arrived at the scene promptly following the incident, which caused a temporary disruption to traffic on the busy highway.
