Andhra bus accident: At least 20 dead as Hyderabad–Bengaluru bus bursts into flames in Kurnool
At least 20 people are feared dead after a private Kaveri Travels bus caught fire following a collision with a motorcycle in Chinna Tekuru village of Kurnool district early Friday morning, Deccan Chronicle and ETV Bharat reported.
The bus was travelling from Hyderabad to Bengaluru with around 40 passengers on board when the accident occurred around 3 am.
According to police, the two-wheeler got stuck under the bus after the crash, sparking a fire that spread rapidly through the vehicle. Within moments, the flames engulfed the entire bus, trapping many passengers inside.
“The Volvo bus hit a bike that got stuck under it, which likely caused the fire. Since it was an AC bus, passengers had difficulty getting out. Those who managed to break open the windows survived,” Superintendent of Police Vikrant Patil was quoted by NDTV as saying.
