Early this morning (April 16, 2026) a high-speed passenger bus bound for Guwahati from upper Assam crashed near Jagirod on National Highway 27 after the driver lost control and the vehicle struck the road divider. The bus overturned onto the carriageway, creating a chaotic scene as passengers were thrown about inside the vehicle.
According to initial reports, several passengers were seriously injured when the bus hit the divider and flipped. Eyewitnesses described panic inside the overturned bus and immediate attempts by those on board to escape. The collision and subsequent overturning appear to have caused significant damage to the vehicle.
Local residents and emergency responders arrived at the scene soon after the accident and began rescue operations. With assistance from the police, authorities worked to extricate passengers trapped inside the bus. The injured were rushed to nearby hospitals for primary treatment; their exact number and the full extent of their injuries have not yet been officially confirmed.
No formal statement has been released so far detailing casualty figures or the precise medical condition of those hurt, although some victims are believed to be in critical condition. Police have launched an investigation into the incident and are examining what caused the bus to lose control.
Further information is expected as officials consolidate reports from the scene and hospitals. Authorities have appealed for calm and cooperation from witnesses while the inquiry continues.
