The collision took place at around 2.30 pm when the passenger vehicle was travelling from Bokakhat towards Nagaon and crashed into the goods-carrying vehicle. More than 35 passengers, including school students, were travelling in the minibus when it collided head-on with a container truck. The Kaziranga bus crash killed 24 people near Kohora. Officials are probing possible overspeeding and overloading on the Assam highway.
