"While 18 Yatris sustained minor injuries, two of them were serious and have been shifted to government medical college hospital in Anantnag district", police said.</p>

The incident was caught on a closed circuit television camera. The footage shows the speeding bus on a wet road ramming into a big dump truck that was taking a U-turn at the crossing.</p>

Meanwhile, the Amarnath Yatra has been suspended on the Pahalgam as well as Baltal routes on Thursday due to heavy rainfall in the Kashmir Valley, officials said.</p>
