          NEW DELHI, June 28 (Xinhua) -- At least five people were killed and over 40 others injured Friday after a passenger bus rammed into a stationary truck in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, police said.

          The accident took place on Agra-Lucknow Expressway in Fatehabad of Agra district, about 297 km west of Lucknow, the capital city of Uttar Pradesh.

          "This morning five people including a child were killed and over 40 others injured after a double-decker bus plying on Agra-Lucknow Expressway rammed into a sand-laden truck," a police official posted in Agra told Xinhua.

          The bus, according to police, was coming from Bihar and heading to Jaipur in Rajasthan.

          The police and Uttar Pradesh district administration officials rushed to the spot and sent the injured to a nearby hospital.

          Meanwhile, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has expressed grief over the loss of lives in the accident.

          "Yogi Adityanath has expressed deep condolences over the death of five persons in a road accident in Agra and directed the administration to provide all possible medical assistance to the injured," a statement issued by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister's office said.

          Police have registered a case and ordered an investigation into the accident.

          Last week 44 people were killed and over 30 others injured after a bus carrying them fell into a 500-feet gorge in the northern Indian state of Himachal Pradesh.
