Vidarbha, Amravati, India: In Badnera, a Shivshahi bus traveling from Akola to Amravati caught fire after a tire burst. The incident triggered an immediate response, with fire tenders from the Amravati Municipal Corporation (AMC) quickly arriving at the scene to extinguish the flames and ensure the safety of the passengers.
Fortunately, there were no injuries reported among the passengers involved in the incident, as all passengers were safely evacuated from the bus in time. According to reports, the Shivshahi bus (MH-06/BW-0903) had left Akola for Amravati on October 13.
As the bus approached the Badnera police station, the rear tire unexpectedly burst. Despite the loss of balance, the driver managed to bring the bus to a safe stop.
As the bus tire deflated while passengers were getting off, the right side of the vehicle suddenly caught fire. Within moments, the flames escalated rapidly, spreading quickly across the bus.
To ensure safety, the police promptly arrived at the scene and regulated traffic on both sides of the road. A total of twenty passengers were on board the bus, and they were all evacuated without any harm.
