Nagpur: A tragic bus accident occurred early this morning on the Samruddhi Mahamarg expressway in Maharashtra, claiming the lives of at least 25 individuals. The incident was a result of a series of unfortunate events.
The bus driver, who miraculously survived and is currently in police custody, reported that a tire of the bus burst around 1:35 am while traveling through Buldhana city on the Samruddhi-Mahamarg Expressway. As a result, the bus collided with a pole, causing it to overturn. The impact damaged the fuel tank, leading to a significant leakage of diesel and subsequent ignition, resulting in a massive fire.
At the time of the accident, there were 33 passengers on board the bus, out of which only eight managed to survive. Among the survivors, four sustained injuries. The bus had two drivers and one cleaner as staff members, and unfortunately, one of the drivers was among those who lost their lives. The cleaner and the other driver, however, narrowly escaped the accident.
