Gurdaspur: Two people were killed and 14 others injured early Friday morning when a Tempo Traveller carrying Vaishno Devi devotees collided with a tipper truck on the Amritsar-Pathankot national highway. The accident occurred near Adda Udhowal village. Overspeeding is suspected to be the cause of the accident, which left the Tempo Traveller mangled. Emergency response teams and police personnel launched a rescue operation, pulling the injured from the wreckage and rushing them to nearby hospitals. Police are yet to identify the victims. Raman Kumar, an eyewitness, said the collision caused a brief traffic disruption, but police restored normal flow after using cranes to clear the damaged vehicles from the highway.
