The vehicle moving from Agra to Delhi was ferrying 40 passengers. Around 5 am, it climbed on a roadside railing and kept hanging between the channels of the road, they said.

The incident brought back memories of an accident in Chalesar area on the Yamuna Expressway a couple of months ago. Twenty nine passengers were killed on July 8 when the driver of the UPSRTC bus fell asleep and the bus fell into a drain below the expressway.
