Fatal Fire on the Expressway

A bus plunged into flames on the Greater Noida stretch of the Yamuna Expressway, leaving nine passengers dead and several others injured. The blaze erupted as the vehicle was en route to its destination, just before midnight, according to witnesses who were trapped inside the vehicle.

Passenger Conditions Revealed by Eyewitnesses

Eyewitnesses recalled that the passengers inside the bus were unable to wear shoes and could only manage to keep their phones in hand. The emergency authorities later confirmed that the heat and smoke made it impossible for the occupants to evacuate in a safe manner.
