LUCKNOW, India: &nbsp, &nbsp, At least 18 people died and 19 were injured when a bus collided with a milk tanker in northern India’s Uttar Pradesh state early on Wednesday ( Jul 10 ), police said.

” The vehicle rammed into the cargo from about killing 18 people and leaving 19 people injured”, Zulfiqaar Ali, from the city authorities chief’s business, told AFP.

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath called the crush “heart-wrenching”.
