😢 A private bus and a motorcycle collided on the busy Bengaluru-Hyderabad highway yesterday, sparking a massive fire that claimed the lives of at least 20 people, according to local reports.
Officials said the blaze broke out after a fuel leak, and rescue teams pulled 21 passengers to safety. So far, 11 victims have been identified, and efforts are ongoing to support families and complete the IDs.
India’s roads remain among the world’s deadliest, with nearly 180,000 traffic fatalities in the past year. High speeds, maintenance gaps, and limited emergency services all play a role in these tragic numbers.
🏍️🚍 This latest crash is a stark reminder of how crucial road safety measures and quick response systems are—especially on long highways. Stay safe out there: always wear protective gear, keep a safe distance, and report any hazards you spot!
