**Tragedy Strikes Bengaluru National Highway: Bus Crash Kills Four**
**HYDERABAD – September 1, 2025, 11:44 AM IST** – A fatal accident on the Bengaluru National Highway claimed the lives of four people and left five others seriously injured early Monday morning. A private bus operated by BCVR Travels collided with a trolley carrying iron rods near Katavaram village in Addakal, Mahabubnagar district.
Police Superintendent D. Janaki stated that the accident occurred around 2:00 AM when the bus, en route from Hyderabad to Proddatur, attempted to overtake the 20-tyre trolley, resulting in a collision.
The deceased have been identified as bus cleaner Hasan (35), Ashrafunnisa (70), Yellamma (40) from Kamalapuram in Proddatur, and an unidentified man aged between 55 and 60 who succumbed to his injuries in hospital.
The impact of the crash was severe, requiring immediate response from Mahabubnagar police, who arrived on the scene to transport the injured to the Government General Hospital.
The tragedy has left families devastated. Among the victims was Yellamma, a daily wage laborer who lost her husband last year. Her son Santosh, a student residing in a hostel, was also on the bus. “With her death, he has now lost both his parents,” the SP said.
An investigation into the exact cause of the accident is underway.
