Muktsar woman crushed to death as speeding PRTC bus overturns
The police said two injured were admitted to a hospital at Dabwali in Sirsa, whereas two others were rushed to Shaheed Bhai Mani Singh Civil Hospital in Bathinda with multiple injuries.
A 40-year-old woman was crushed to death and four passengers suffered injuries after a Punjab Roadways Transport Corporation (PRTC) bus overturned near Chak Ruldu Singh Wala village on the Bathinda-Dabwali highway on Tuesday afternoon.
Deputy superintendent of police (rural) Heena Gupta said prima facie it appears the speeding bus, heading to Amritsar, first hit a road divider and then overturned.
The deceased has been identified as Jaswinder Kaur. Both Kaur and her husband Gurpreet Singh boarded the bus from Dabwali at Sirsa district in Haryana and were headed to Faridkot in Punjab.
The duo hail from Lohara village in Punjab’s Muktsar district.
“We were sitting in the rear side of the bus. My wife fell out of the vehicle and was crushed under the wheels of the bus after it rolled several times on the highway. She died on the spot,” Gurpreet said.
A probe into the case is on, the DSP said.
