At least 20 people were killed when a passenger bus caught fire following a head-on collision with a truck in Chitradurga district of Karnataka, India, early Thursday morning. The accident occurred around 2:30 a.m. on National Highway 48 as the bus was traveling from Bengaluru to Shivamogga. Police said the truck crossed the divider and rammed into the bus, triggering an immediate blaze that trapped passengers inside. Rescue teams from the police and fire department rushed to the scene, managing to save several injured passengers who were taken to hospitals in Hiriyur and Chitradurga. Officials fear the death toll may rise as some victims remain in critical condition. Preliminary investigations suggest the truck driver may have fallen asleep at the wheel, causing him to lose control and cross into oncoming traffic. Traffic on the busy highway was temporarily halted but later resumed after the vehicles were removed and the fire was brought under control. Authorities have launched a detailed inquiry into the cause of the accident.
