A major road accident occurred early on Saturday when a private travel bus overturned in Andhra Pradesh’s Palnadu district.
The bus was travelling from Hyderabad to Chirala with around 25 passengers on board.
Five people sustained injuries in the accident. In a rescue operation, a woman trapped inside the wreckage was safely rescued after two hours of effort by the police and emergency teams.
Cranes were deployed at the scene to aid in the rescue, and police personnel had to cut through parts of the bus to extricate her.
Speaking to reporters, Palnadu District Superintendent of Police Srinivas said that preliminary investigations suggest the accident was caused by excessive speeding.
All injured passengers have been shifted to a nearby hospital for treatment.
Police are investigating the incident further.
