India, Feb. 15 -- At least 10 people were killed and 19 others injured when a car carrying Maha Kumbh devotees from Chhattisgarh collided with a bus on the Prayagraj-Mirzapur highway in Uttar Pradesh around Friday midnight.

DCP Yamunanagar Vivek Chandra Yadav said the bodies had been sent to Swaroop Rani Nehru Medical Hospital for post-mortem, and further procedures were underway.

The crash took place around 2am on the Mirzapur-Prayagraj highway near the Meja police station in Prayagraj when a Bolero car collided with a bus.

The deceased devotees were travelling from Chhattisgarh's Korba to take a holy dip at the Sangam during the Kumbh. The bus involved in the accident was reportedly carrying pilgrims from Madhya Pradesh's Rajgarh.
