Chittoor: At least nine people were killed, while 22 others were injured after a bus skidded off the road and fell into a ravine in Andhra Pradesh's Alluri Sitarama Raju district in the early hours of Friday (December 12). At the time of the incident, 37 people were travelling in the bus. Six people are reported to be safe.

The bus was heading to neighbouring Telangana from Chittoor when the driver reportedly lost control and the vehicle fell off the road. Superintendent of Police (SP) Amit Bardar said the accident occurred around 4:30 am on Chintoor-Maredumilli ghat road near a Durga temple.

"At least nine people died and 22 were injured as the bus fell off the ghat road. The bus did not fully plunge into the valley. It turned turtle... and got stuck," Bardar told PTI.
