AN overloaded bus carrying pilgrims to a Muslim shrine rammed into a parked truck and burst into flames, killing 16 and injuring more than two dozen others in the north Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, police said yesterday.
Some of the 78 passengers aboard the 54-seat bus had kerosene and cooking gas cylinders that helped turn the bus "into a ball of fire," officer Iqbal Mallik said. Some passengers escaped through the back door of the bus and others through a window. Those injured with burns, including nine in serious condition, were being treated at a nearby hospital. The bus operators are being investigated.
