Deranged man throwing stones causes accident, seven in bus injured

NAGPUR: Seven persons, including five passengers, driver and conductor of a state transport bus were seriously injured after the bus hit a container truck and then skidded off the road on Wednesday afternoon at Ravli Fata. The ST bus was heading to Bhandara from Nagpur, said the police.
Mouda police said the accident took place at around 3.30pm. Near Ravli Fata, a mentally challenged man was throwing stones at vehicles passing by. This led to a container truck driver suddenly applying the brakes. As a result, an ST bus coming from behind hit the container and skidded off the road.
Bus driver Ravindra Jangde (55), conductor Madhuri Kathane (30, of Murmadi), Charan Meshram (24, of Deori), Rajkumar Jambhulkar (27, of Vihirgaon), Sharad Lilore (67, Mouda), Amol Kathan (26, Wadoda) and Shivshankar Kathore (38, of Pipri) sustained injuries. The injured were rushed to a hospital in Bhandara. The Mouda police are probing further.
