The accident occurred on the Budaun-Meerut state highway, around 14 kilometres from the district headquarters. The traffic on the road was briefly affected due to the incident.

According to locals, the pickup van was coming from Ghaziabad when it collided with the bus.

“Ten people were killed and 27 were injured in the accident. The injured have been sent to different hospitals,” District Magistrate Chandra Prakash Singh told reporters.
