"The people who could come out of the bus later told us that they sought help from other vehicles on the highway, but nobody stopped," he added.
One of the survivors of the ill-fated bus that caught fire and led to the death of 25 passengers in Maharashtra's Buldhana district today, said he and a few others managed to come out of the burning vehicle by breaking its rear window.
The accident took place on the Samruddhi Expressway near Sindkhedraja in Maharashtra's Buldhana when the private passenger bus going from Nagpur to Pune hit a pole around 1:30 am. Of the 33 passengers in the bus, 25 were charred to death, police said.
"A tyre of the bus burst and the vehicle hit a pole and caught fire immediately. The blaze spread in no time," the survivor said.
"The passenger seated next to me and I managed to escape by breaking the rear window," he said.
