A bike rider is also included among the dead. According to initial reports, there were around 40 people on board the bus. About 19 passengers, two children and two drivers narrowly escaped this accident.
Kurnool Range DIG Koya Praveen said that when the motorcycle collided with the bus, the bus was dragged down due to its fuel cap being open, which led to the fire. Due to short circuit, the door of the bus got jammed and within a few minutes the bus was completely burnt to ashes. Police further said that most of the people were in the age group of 25 to 35 years.
