Andhra Pradesh: At least 14 people killed after bus collides with jeep

The luxury bus, proceeding from Hyderabad to Bengaluru, rammed into the jeep that swerved into the other side of the highway in order to avoid a two-wheeler. As the bus was moving at high speed, the impact of the collision was heavy which left 10 dead on the spot, police said.

“The jeep was badly mangled and many other passengers were trapped inside. We have pulled out four injured passengers so far and shifted them to the government hospital in Kurnool for treatment,” PTI reported a senior police official as saying.

Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu and leader of the Opposition Y S Jaganmohan Reddy expressed shock over the accident.

Some passengers in the bus received minor injuries, police said.
