A private travel bus overturned near Beeramguda after reportedly ramming into a lorry from behind on Wednesday, seriously injuring its driver and causing traffic disruption on the road. No passengers were on board the bus at the time of the crash, according to a report by Deccan Chronicle.
The driver, identified as 30-year-old Salman, suffered severe head injuries in the collision. He was shifted to a hospital for treatment after the accident. The report did not provide details of his current medical condition.
The bus was travelling behind the lorry when it hit the vehicle from the rear. The impact caused the private bus to overturn near Beeramguda. Preliminary information cited in the report indicated that overspeeding may have caused the accident.
Police reached the location after the crash and arranged cranes to remove the overturned bus from the road. The operation was required to clear the damaged vehicle and reopen the affected stretch for traffic movement.
The accident led to congestion in the area, prompting police personnel to regulate traffic while the removal work was under way. The incident highlights the immediate traffic-management challenges that follow a heavy-vehicle collision on a busy urban road, particularly when an overturned vehicle blocks road space.
Police registered a case in connection with the crash and began an investigation. The inquiry is expected to establish the circumstances of the collision, including the speed of the bus and the sequence of events before it struck the lorry.
The absence of passengers prevented further injuries in the bus, but the driver sustained serious head trauma. No other injuries or damage details were provided in the available report. Police continued with the investigation after arranging the removal of the bus and managing congestion at the site.
