Over 42 passengers travelling by an RTC Garuda bus had a narrow escape after the bus hit a divider on NH- 16 near Tatapudi of Chilakaluripeta mandal in Guntur district in the wee hours of Friday. Passengers broke open the window panes and jumped off the AC Volvo bus injuring themselves after sensing the bus might catch fire like Palem bus incident in which 45 people were killed. Two injured persons were shifted to a nearby hospital.
The bus was carrying more than 44 passengers from Bangalore to Vijayawada.
Soon as the bus hit the divider, passengers tried to open the door but it was locked. The oil tanker burst caused panic among passengers, who broke open the emergency windows and jumped off along with children and ladies.
The panicked passengers say that it was a narrow escape for them as smoke emanating from the tanker could have soon engulfed the bus into flames if none had observed.
