The injured identified as Chhotu Oraon and Satyendra Oraon, residents of Palamu and Chatra respectively, were taken to a nearby health hub by the police which had rushed to the mishap spot immediately after getting the information about the mishap.
In the morning the police had to press a gas cutting machine to retrieve the bodies from the twisted vehicles.

It may be mentioned here that heavy vehicles, including buses, trucks and trailers ply recklessly on the Rajnagar-Chaibasa road with the local police doing nothing to curb the reckless driving which causes frequent fatal mishaps on the stretch.
