Andhra Pradesh bus fire accident

Andhra Pradesh bus fire accident: A very painful accident happened this morning in Kurnool, Andhra Pradesh. More than 20 people were burnt to death after a fire broke out in a sleeper bus going from Hyderabad to Bengaluru. It is being told that there were more than 40 people traveling in the bus at that time, who were sleeping deeply.

How did this terrible accident happen?

The accident occurred around 3:30 am when the Kaveri Travels bus was passing near Kurnool city on National Highway 44. Then suddenly a motorcycle collided with the bus. The collision was so strong that the bike got stuck under the bus and hit its petrol tank, causing an explosion and within no time the entire bus turned into a ball of fire.

Most of the passengers were in deep sleep when the accident occurred. Those who discovered the fire somehow saved their lives by breaking the windows, but many people were left trapped inside as the doors of the bus were jammed. Within a few minutes the fire spread so rapidly that no one even got a chance to recover.

People ran after hearing the screams

When people nearby heard screaming, they ran to help, but by then the fire had become very serious. Even before the fire brigade arrived, the bus was completely burnt to ashes.

President Draupadi Murmu and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu has expressed deep sorrow. The government has assured all possible help to the affected families. Police say that the death toll may also increase. In this accident, both the drivers of the bus including 19 passengers and 2 children somehow managed to save their lives. This incident shows how dangerous traveling on highways can be at night.
