Andhra Bus Fire Accident | "Woke Up To Flames, It Spread Rapidly": Survivors Narrate Deadly Fire

Описание: Harika was asleep when the luxury bus she was travelling in caught fire early this morning. Startled by the chaos, she woke up to find the flames had almost engulfed the vehicle. To her rescue was a broken door at the bus's rear exit. Harika managed to jump out. She escaped the deadly inferno with injuries before the bus turned into ashes, killing 19 people on board.

The incident must have happened around 3-3:30 am, says Harika, who was among the 40-odd passengers travelling to Bengaluru from Hyderabad. The bus caught fire on National Highway 44 near Ullindakonda in the Kurnool district of Andhra Pradesh after colliding with a two-wheeler.

Most of the passengers were likely in deep slumber when the fire started, and found it difficult to exit after the fire. By the time Harika woke up, the flames had already started and spread across the bus within seconds. "The back door was broken, so I jumped out from there. In the process of jumping, I got hurt," says Harika.
