A woman was killed and 15 others, including seven children, were injured in a multi-vehicle collision on the Dehradun-Haridwar National Highway in Uttarakhand, police said on Monday.
The accident occurred late Sunday night on the Motichur flyover in front of Hotel Godwin, where an Uttarakhand Roadways bus hit a tractor trolley from behind.
Subsequently, a Scorpio and two other vehicles crashed into the bus causing a pile-up, they said.
The police said that the collision likely caused the Scorpio’s CNG cylinder to explode and catch fire, damaging other vehicles.
