Nine people died and 28 were injured in a horrific crash between a bus and an SUV car in Gujarat's Navsari district early on Saturday morning. A bus full of people returning from the Pramukh Swami Maharaj Shatabdi Mahotsav event from Surat rammed into a Toyota Fortuner car on the Navsari national highway number 48 after the driver suffered a heart attack and lost control of the vehicle. He was taken to a hospital for treatment, where he died. In this programme, I can see every aspect of India's vibrancy and diversity. I want to appreciate the saints and seers for thinking of a programme of this nature and at such a scale.

All eight occupants of the car died, and 28 people in the bus were injured. 11 were taken to a private hospital. The luxury bus was going from Surat to Valsad.

The crash led to traffic disruption on the highway, after which the police got the bus removed from the road using a crane and traffic resumed as usual.
