Bus crash in western India claims 25 lives in fiery tragedy.

A tragic incident occurred in western India early Saturday, resulting in the loss of 25 lives. According to local media reports, the bus, carrying 33 people, suffered a tire blowout, causing it to lose control and crash into a road divider. The impact ignited a fire that engulfed the bus. Police officer Sunil Kadasne provided details, stating that the accident took place around 1:30 a.m. on a highway in the Buldhana district of Maharashtra state. The eight survivors were immediately rushed to a nearby hospital for medical attention. The ill-fated bus was privately operated and was en route from Nagpur to Pune city within the same state.

India has sadly witnessed a high frequency of deadly road accidents attributed to factors such as reckless driving, inadequately maintained roads, and aging vehicles. Police data reveals that more than 110,000 individuals lose their lives each year in road accidents across the country.
