A dashcam video has emerged, capturing the fatal collision between a passenger-carrying Traveller and a container truck near Assam's Kaziranga National Park. The accident, which took place in Rongajan in the Golaghat district, resulted in 24 deaths and 11 injuries. The footage, recorded by the truck's dashboard camera, reveals the moment the Traveller veered off its lane and crashed into the larger vehicle.
