harvester struck a private bus carrying wedding guests from behind late Sunday night on the Budaun-Delhi road in the Mujariya police station area of Uttar Pradesh, leaving two people dead and more than half a dozen injured. Police said the crash happened as the marriage party was traveling from the Usahait area to Kolhai village. The victims were identified as Sajid, 25, and Farhan, 12, while the injured were rushed to Government Medical College.
Deadly impact on the Budaun-Delhi road
The collision was described by police as a rear-end hit that smashed the bus’s back portion. Eyewitnesses said the force was so severe that several passengers were thrown onto the road along with their seats. The impact of the harvester left the wedding bus badly damaged and triggered a rescue response at the scene.
Police teams reached the spot after receiving information and began rescue work. Officials later cleared both vehicles from the road during the night to restore traffic movement. The injured were taken by ambulance to Government Medical College, where doctors treated them for serious injuries. Chief Medical Superintendent Dr Vipin Kumar confirmed that six injured people are undergoing treatment.
Officials confirm deaths and treatment
Additional Superintendent of Police (Rural) Hridayesh Kumar Katheria said the injured were immediately shifted to the medical college, where doctors declared two persons dead. He said the crash involved a speeding wheat harvester that rammed into the bus from behind. Police identified the dead as Sajid and Farhan and said more than six injured people were taken for care.
Dr Vipin Kumar, Chief Medical Superintendent at Government Medical College, confirmed the deaths and said six injured persons are still under treatment. The condition of the injured was described as serious by officials, underscoring the scale of the crash.
What happened before the crash
The bus was carrying a marriage party and was moving through the Mujariya police station area when the crash happened late Sunday night. The sequence is clear from the police account: the harvester hit the bus from behind, the bus rear was smashed, and passengers were thrown forward in the impact.
That sequence has made the harvester the central focus of the investigation and the public concern around this deadly road accident. With two lives lost and several people still under treatment, the next developments will likely center on the condition of the injured and the police assessment of how the crash unfolded. For now, the harvester remains at the heart of a collision that turned a wedding journey into a fatal night on the Budaun-Delhi road.
