Tragedy in Telangana: At Least 24 Dead in Bus-Truck Collision

Ranga Reddy District, Telangana – A devastating road accident in Telangana’s Ranga Reddy district on Monday claimed the lives of at least 24 people and left several others injured after a high-speed truck collided with a Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TSRTC) bus. The collision occurred near Khanapur Gate, within the Chevella police station limits.

According to police reports, the gravel-laden truck was allegedly speeding on the wrong side of the road when it struck the bus, which was carrying approximately 70 passengers en route to Hyderabad. The force of the impact was so severe that many passengers died instantly, including both the bus and truck drivers and a ten-month-old infant and its mother.

“A road accident occurred between a TSRTC bus and a truck near Khanapur Gate, under the Chevella police station limits in Rangareddy district,” police said in a statement.

Eyewitness accounts describe a scene of chaos and heartbreak, with trapped passengers crying out for help as local residents rushed to provide assistance. Injured victims were transported to a government hospital in Chevella, while those with critical injuries were transferred to hospitals in Hyderabad. Authorities warn that the death toll could rise, as many of the injured remain in critical condition.

Initial investigations suggest that over-speeding and loss of control by the truck driver may have been contributing factors to the crash. A full investigation is underway.

Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy expressed his deep shock and grief in a statement, directing state officials to ensure immediate rescue and relief measures. He instructed ministers and senior officials to oversee rescue operations at the site and to arrange for the swift transport and treatment of the injured in Hyderabad hospitals.
