Several people are struggling for their life after a passenger bus collided with a lorry on a highway in Rajasthan state. Police from neighbouring areas rushed to the spot near Barmer District to help.
Eleven people have reportedly died and several others have been left critically injured after a bus collided with a tanker trailer on Wednesday on the Barmer-Jodhpur highway in India's Rajasthan state.
Video clips of the bus, showing the vehicle ablaze with thick plumes of black smoke billowing up from it, were posted by some social media users.

“The accident took place in Barmer District, leading to the immediate death of nine passengers. Another person died in the tanker trailer and the last succumbed to his injuries in hospital,” the United News of India press agency quoted police official Deepak Bhargava as saying to reporters.
