At least 35 people were injured when a bus ferrying passengers collided with a taxi parked on the side of the road at Nphiecha colony in Kohima village on Saturday.
The bus driver lost control of the vehicle, which landed on paddy fields some 70 feet below the highway.
All 32 passengers in the bus and three passengers in the taxi have sustained injuries. Two passengers of the bus and one from the taxi were admitted into the Intensive Care Unit.
While the bus, which had headed out from Dimapur, was heading to Satakha in the Zunheboto district, the taxi, a Maruti Alto, was heading to Ruzhaho in Phek.
Many passengers confirmed that they were on their way to their native villages to cast their votes on February 27.
All the victims were transferred to various hospitals in Kohima by locals and commercial vehicles plying along the stretch of road.
The bus driver was suspected to be absconding after the incident. However, the police did not verify the same.
