21 Dead, 14 Injured After Bus Collides With Truck In Telangana's Rangareddy; PM Announces Aid
Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy has expressed grief over the road accident and instructed the officials to immediately reach the spot and take necessary relief measures.
As many as 21 people died and 14 others were injured in a road accident in Telangana's Rangareddy district. The accident occurred early Monday morning after an RTC bus and a tipper truck collided near Khanapur Gate, under the jurisdiction of the Chevella police station.
When the tipper rammed into the bus, its gravel load toppled onto the vehicle, worsening the impact of the crash. Officials fear the death toll could rise further. Around 70 passengers were on board at the time of the accident. Rescue teams are using JCB machines to pull apart the mangled bus and tipper to recover the bodies of those trapped inside.
"A road accident occurred between a TGSRTC bus and a truck near Khanapur Gate, under the Chevella police station limits in Rangareddy district. Several passengers are injured, and more details are yet to be known. This incident happened early this morning. We reached the spot, and more details will be provided later," Chevella Police said.
