Jaipur, Nov 25 (SocialNews.XYZ) Two people were killed and 31 others injured in a road accident on the Delhi–Mumbai Expressway in Rajasthan's Alwar district on Tuesday.
The crash occurred near the Pinan Interchange bridge when a bus travelling from Ahmedabad to Delhi rammed into a stationary truck around 6 a.m.
