Sambalpur: Train services were affected after a passenger bus met an accident close to railway tracks near Laxmidunguri area in Odisha’s Sambalpur district early on Saturday.

The bus, en route to Bargarh from Bhubaneswar, halted very close to the railway tracks, which runs parallel to the highway, after hitting a barricade. Luckily, there was no train movement on the track at the time of the accident, which is why a major mishap could be averted. Sources said that a freight train had passed on the railway track, 10 second before the crash.
