Five people lost their lives and 12 others were injured after a fast-moving sleeper bus rammed into the safety wall of a bridge in Madhya Pradesh's Rajgarh district on Friday morning, police said.

The official said the bus was en route from Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, to Indore when it went out of control while taking a curve on the bridge, slamming into the protective wall.

Police reached the spot soon after and moved the injured to Civil Hospital in Biaora, from where four people in critical condition were sent to Bhopal for further treatment.
