Horror on Highway: Motorcycle Crash Sparks Deadly Blaze

A passenger bus carrying 44 people burst into flames after a motorcycle smashed into its rear early Friday in southern India, killing at least 25 people and injuring several others.

The “luxury” coach was racing along a highway near Kurnool district in Andhra Pradesh when disaster struck. Senior police official Vikrant Patil revealed that the bike hit the speeding bus, got wedged underneath, and was dragged for a distance. Sparks from the collision ignited the bus’s fuel tank, quickly engulfing the vehicle in a raging inferno.

Passengers Trapped as Flames Swallow Bus

Many passengers were asleep at the time and found themselves trapped inside the burning bus. Some managed to smash the windows and jump to safety with minor injuries, but dozens were burned alive before rescuers arrived.
