Ludhiana (PTI): Two people, including a woman, were killed and 20 injured when their bus collided with a stationary truck near Khanna on the Ludhiana-Delhi highway, around 35 kilometres from Ludhiana, on Sunday.
According to police, the bus belonged to a Ludhiana-based spinning factory and was carrying around 30 employees of the factory when the accident occurred. The employees were on their way to the factory in the morning.
Police said the bus driver failed to notice the truck parked on the roadside due to fog and poor visibility.
The bus rammed into the truck, which was loaded with iron rods, from behind, they said, adding that the rods pierced through two people -- Mehma (24 ) and Sandeep (21).
Both were seriously injured and succumbed to the injuries while being taken to a hospital in Khanna, police said.

Trump says he ‘hasn’t even thought about’ continuing Iran ceasefire
Washington: US President Donald Trump has said he has not yet considered whether he would continue the ceasefire involving Iran, while also claiming the United States holds the advantage in negotiations.
Speaking to reporters, Trump said he was prepared to make a deal with “whoever is running the show” in Iran.
“They are fighting with each other, there’s tremendous infighting. They’re probably fighting for leadership in many cases. I think they’re fighting not to be leader because we knocked out two levels of leaders,” he said.
Trump added, “When they want they can call me. We have all the cards, we’ve won everything.”
Referring to ongoing negotiations, he said, “They gave us a paper that should’ve been better. And, interestingly, immediately when I cancelled it [envoy trip to Pakistan], within 10 minutes we got a new paper that was much better.”
“We talked about they will not have a nuclear weapon, very simple … They offered a lot, but not enough,” he added.
When asked whether he would continue the ceasefire, Trump replied, “I haven’t even thought about it.”
The remarks come as uncertainty remains over the future of the temporary truce and broader negotiations between Washington and Tehran.
