At least ten people were burned alive after a private sleeper bus caught fire following being hit by a truck in Karnataka’s Chitradurga district. The bus was travelling from Bengaluru to Shivamogga, covering over 300 kilometers, when the accident occurred on the National Highway-48 (NH-48) in the early hours of Thursday, around 2:30 am. The bus was hit by a truck coming from the other side after it reportedly jumped the divider and crashed into the bus. "A lorry jumped over the divider and hit the bus early Thursday morning. Preliminary investigation suggests the lorry might have hit the bus’s fuel tank, leading to fuel gushing out. A few passengers managed to escape the fire. As of now, eight passengers and the truck driver are confirmed dead," Ravikant Gowda, Inspector General of Police said.
