Tuesday, 05 November 2024 | PNS | Lucknow

Passengers on board a moving private sleeper bus had a narrow escape when the vehicle suddenly caught fire on the Yamuna Expressway near Mirhawali village in Hathras, a police official said on Monday.

Sadabad Circle Officer Himanshu Mathur said that no passenger sustained any injuries.

The bus was going towards Bihar from Delhiā€™s Wazirabad. The fire started from the luggage kept on the roof of the bus and within a short time the flames engulfed the entire vehicle, the police said.

As soon as the driver stopped the bus after getting information about the fire, passengers jumped out from the bus to save their lives, police said, adding that the police and fire brigade reached the spot and somehow controlled the blaze but by then the bus was completely damaged.

According to the police, it is unclear how many passengers were on board when the bus caught fire.

A case was registered and further investigations are on by the police.
