Shocking Forensic Findings Reveal Drunk Biker Caused Kurnool Bus Crash
The horrific Kurnool bus accident that claimed 20 lives last month was caused by a drunk biker, according to an exclusive forensic report. The collision on the Kurnool-Hyderabad highway has reignited debates over road safety and drunk driving laws in India.
What Happened in the Kurnool Bus Accident?
On May 15, a state-run APSRTC bus traveling from Kurnool to Hyderabad collided with a speeding motorcycle near the Orvakal bypass. The impact caused the bus to overturn multiple times, killing 20 passengers and injuring 15 others. The biker, 28-year-old Suresh Kumar, died instantly.
Eyewitnesses described chaotic scenes as locals rushed to rescue survivors from the wreckage. Many victims were daily wage workers, students, and elderly passengers, leaving families devastated.
Forensic Report Confirms Drunk Driving & Speeding
The Kurnool District Forensic Science Lab (DFSL) confirmed:
– Biker’s BAC was 0.18% (more than twice the legal 0.08% limit).
– Speed: 110 km/h in a 70 km/h zone.
– Bus driver was sober and within speed limits, ruling out negligence on his part.
“The biker was intoxicated, speeding, and swerved into the bus’s lane. The driver had no time to react,” said Dr. Ramesh Patel, lead investigator.
Victims’ Families Demand Justice & Stronger Laws
Families of the deceased are calling for:
✔ Stricter drunk-driving penalties
✔ Better highway patrolling
✔ AI surveillance cameras
“My husband was the sole earner. How many more will die before the government acts?” said Lakshmi, a victim’s widow.
Police Under Fire for Lax Enforcement
Kurnool police admitted drunk-driving checks were rare on the highway. After public outrage, authorities have now:
– Increased random breathalyzer tests.
– Deployed speed guns to monitor reckless driving.
Critics argue reactive measures aren’t enough—experts urge mandatory alcohol sensors in vehicles and harsher license suspensions.
Will This Tragedy Spur Change?
India records 150,000+ road deaths yearly, with drunk driving causing ~40% of accidents (NCRB). While the 2019 Motor Vehicles Act increased penalties, weak enforcement persists.
For grieving families, justice remains pending. Will this crash finally force action?
