Police Suspect Third Vehicle’s Involvement in Kurnool Bus Fire Accident
Kurnool: Andhra Pradesh Police suspects that the third vehicle was involved in the recent bus fire in which 19 passengers lost their lives.
In the early hours of October 24, a Bengaluru-bound sleeper bus crashed into a bike that had already had an accident at Chinna Tekuru village in Kurnool district. While the bicycle was stuck under the bus and dragged along with the bus, opening the fuel tank cap caused an explosion. Then the bus caught fire.
There were 44 passengers on the bus and many managed to escape.
According to the police, the skid marks of the Kaveri Travels bus were found slightly ahead of the spot where the two-wheeler initially crashed and its driver died; This shows that the motorcycle moved forward a little more after the initial impact.
“The difference in the skid mark location of the bike indicates that another vehicle might have hit it before the bus passed over it,” Kurnool district superintendent of police Vikrant Patil told PTI. he said. It was stated that the police launched an investigation to determine whether a third vehicle was involved in the accident.
