Updated: 2016-01-27-23:15
A private luxury bus caught fire late on Tuesday night near Sayla. The incident took place when all passengers were asleep in the bus. The driver of the luxury noticed a spark in bus’s electrical systems, but ignored it for a while.
The fuse box of the electrical system had failed. But a few moments later the driver noticed a small fire near the air conditioning system. The driver then raised an alarm and alerted the passengers. Within no time the whole bus was engulfed in flames.
“There were just 15 passengers in the bus and were en-route to Rajkot. It was the presence of mind on part of the driver that saved the day,” says a senior police official of Sayla police station. The private travels arranged a separate bus for the passengers for Rajkot.
