Kannauj bus accident: Fog caused the mishap

LUCKNOW: Transport department in its inquiry report into the bus accident that took place at GT road in Kannauj on Friday night has put 'fog' as the main reason. The report said 'it is an unintended accident due to fog'.
It was a double-decker bus that collided with the truck at NH-91 on Friday at around 8.15pm leaving atleast 10 people charred to death and 23 others injured."It is an extremely narrow road, only about 10 metres broad," said the report.
The Ghiloy bazaar area where the accident took place witnesses heavy movement of traffic all through. It was the dense fog that had reduced visibility by several metres and both the drivers of the bus and the truck probably could not see the white line that divides the road and separates the traffic from the two sides.

The bus had hit the fuel tank of the truck triggering fire. What amplified the impact was the plastic material that the truck was carrying.
The bus had a valid fitness and permit and so had the truck. The bus also had an all India permit and was operating as a contract carriage. "The physical condition of the bus was very fine," said the report.
