The accident happened at around 3:00 am today.
Kurnool Superintendent of Police (SP) Vikrant Patil has confirmed the chain of events and said the collision had probably ignited the huge fire.
"Around 3 [am], a Volvo bus of Kaveri travels from Hyderabad to Bengaluru. It rammed a two-wheeler and it got entangled beneath the bus. That most likely resulted in a spark and resultant fire," SP Patil told NDTV.
Because of the vehicle's nature, the passengers were trapped in a short time. "As it was an AC bus, passengers had to shatter the windows. Whoever managed to shatter the glass are safe," the SP further said.
