Latur, January 10

One person was killed and 11 sustained serious injuries after their bus was hit by a truck in Latur’s Ausa tehsil on Sunday morning, police said.

The accident took place between an MSRTC bus and a multi-axle truck on Nilanga-Latur highway near Wagholi at around 10am, said Additional Superintendent of Police Himmat Jadhav.

“The bus, with 14 passengers, was on its way to Akola when it was hit by the truck, after which the former toppled, leaving one passenger dead and 11 seriously injured. They have been shifted to government medical college here,” he said.

The driver of the truck fled from the spot and efforts were on to nab him, he added. — PTI

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
