Scania bus tragedy on NH44 in Kurnool on 2025-10-24





A multi-axle Scania AC sleeper bus belonging to Kaveri Travels on its routine run with 40 passengers from Hyderabad to Bangalore  (590 kms) went up in flames at around 3.00 am on Friday 2025-10-24 after it hit a motorcycle at Chinnatekur village in Kallur mandal, near Kurnool on NH44. Till last report received on Friday 2025-10-24 evening, 20 people were charred to death. The motorcyclist died, too. 

The bus rammed into a motorcycle which got dragged under it, hitting the fuel tank and puncturing it. This caused an immediate explosion and the flames rapidly spread throughout the vehicle. The electrically operated main entry/ exit door got jammed immediately after the fire broke out. Both drivers fled the scene while panicking passengers managed to break down some of the toughened glass windows to escape the inferno.

Malfunction Indicator Lights (MIL) which roadies should never ignore


Dashboard Warning Lights or Malfunction Indicator Lights (MIL) which roadies should never ignore! 

* Electric Power Steering (EPS):
If this light appears, your steering may become heavy or stop responding entirely. Drive cautiously and have it inspected immediately.

* EPC (Electronic Power Control):
This indicates a problem with the throttle system, accelerator pedal, or throttle body. It can cause reduced engine power — avoid pushing the car and get it diagnosed right away.

* Check Engine Light:
The most common warning light! It can point to issues with sensors, the air-fuel ratio, or other engine components. A quick diagnostic scan can save you from expensive repairs later.

* Traction Control Warning:
Your anti-skid system may be disabled or malfunctioning. This could be due to a faulty wheel sensor, ABS module, or throttle issue.

* ABS (Anti-lock Braking System): 
Your brakes will still function, but you’ll lose stability during sudden stops. Definitely not something to ignore!
