    There has been too many vehicle accidents on NH-66 since a long time. Buses on these roads ply at high speed and cause these accidents killing and injuring people. May the souls of the deceased rest in eternal peace and sympathies to the bereaved families and loved ones. Speedy recovery to those injured in this deadly accident. The Omni van was crushed like a match box. That shows the speed of the vehicle involved.
