Morbi, Sep 19 (IANS) At least 12 people were injured when a State Transport bus rammed into a stationary truck in Patia in Gujarat's Morbi district.

The incident occurred when the sleeper coach bus was en route to Mundra from Anand.

Soon after the accident, passersby gathered at the spot and informed the police officials, who carried out the rescue operation along with a medical team.

The injured were rushed to nearby hospitals in Halvad, Morbi, and Surendranagar.

The injured were primarily shifted to Halvad for immediate treatment, while those in more serious condition were transferred to hospitals in Morbi and Surendranagar.
