Minibus enters a highway restaurant, November 2026

On the morning of Friday 13 November 2026, a minibus carrying a family home from a temple visit at Salangpur went out of control and entered the Khodiyar restaurant on the highway at Dhandhuka. The driver died. About ten passengers and the restaurant staff were not hurt. Reports suspect a heart attack at the wheel, but no medical finding has been published, and they differ on where the driver died. We cover it in a case study.

Stay safe: quick checklist

Save 112, 101, 108 and 100 in your phone, along with the district helpline 1077. Share them with elders and children old enough to use a phone.
On a long trip, share the driving and stop for a break at least every two hours. Do not start a long drive home when the driver is already tired after a function or temple visit.
A driver who feels chest pain, dizziness, a racing heart or numbness should slow down, switch on the hazard lights and stop at the side of the road. Do not try to carry on to the next town.
If a driver collapses at the wheel, the passenger beside should hold the steering firmly, tell everyone to stay seated, switch on the hazard lights and bring the vehicle to a slow stop. Switch off the engine once it has stopped.

For a suspected heart attack, call 108 or 112 at once, keep the person still and loosen tight clothing. If the person is not breathing normally, start CPR and send someone for help.
If you run a roadside eatery, keep tables, the kitchen and any gas cylinders away from the parking edge, and use a barrier or kerb between the highway and the seating.
When you call 112 from a highway, give the name of the road, the nearest landmark or restaurant and the direction you were travelling.
