According to the reports, four Home Guards remain in critical condition, and more than 20 others suffered serious injuries. The accident site quickly turned chaotic as locals rushed to rescue the trapped passengers.

Bus Carrying 54 Home Guards Meets with Accident

The bus was traveling along NH-31 in Begusarai when the accident took place. The vehicle suddenly lost control and plunged directly into a large pit near the road. Inside the bus were 54 Home Guard personnel who were traveling together for duty.

The sudden fall caused chaos inside the bus as passengers were thrown from their seats. Several were crushed against the bus walls, while others received injuries from broken glass and metal parts. Local residents who witnessed the incident immediately came forward to help.

Fatal Collision with Motorcycle Before the Fall

Tragedy worsened when the bus collided with a motorcycle before falling into the pit. The bike was carrying a family of three from Khagaria. The deceased woman was identified as Roshni Devi, a resident of Khagaria district.

Reports suggest that Roshni Devi was traveling with her husband, Ranveer Yadav, and their ten-year-old son, Nishant Kumar. The family was heading towards Begusarai for medical treatment when the accident struck. The bus hit their motorcycle with great force, throwing them to the ground.

Unfortunately, Roshni Devi became trapped under the heavy bus after the collision. She succumbed to her injuries on the spot. Her husband and son survived but remain in shock after the tragedy.

Local Residents Rushed for Immediate Rescue

Eyewitnesses described scenes of panic and urgency at the accident site. As soon as the bus fell, people from nearby shops and houses rushed to rescue the passengers. With no immediate arrival of emergency services, locals took charge of the situation.

They broke windows of the bus to help the injured come out. Several passengers were trapped under twisted seats and needed support to be pulled free. The quick response of local residents prevented further loss of life.

Injured Shifted to Begusarai Sadar Hospital

Once the passengers were rescued, the injured were rushed to Begusarai Sadar Hospital. Ambulances and private vehicles carried the wounded to the emergency ward. Doctors confirmed that four Home Guard personnel remain in critical condition and require close monitoring.

More than 20 other Home Guards suffered serious injuries including fractures, head wounds and internal bleeding. Others received minor cuts and bruises but remain under medical observation.

Hospital staff worked tirelessly through the night to stabilize the victims. Relatives of the injured reached the hospital as news spread across the district.

Police Informed After the Road Accident

Police officials arrived at the site after receiving information about the accident. They began clearing the area to prevent traffic jams on NH-31, one of the busiest roads in Bihar. The damaged bus was later pulled out with the help of cranes.

Police have registered the case and initiated investigation into the exact cause. Preliminary reports suggest that the bus may have been speeding or faced a sudden brake failure. Eyewitnesses also mentioned uneven road conditions and poor maintenance near the accident spot.

Authorities assured that a detailed inquiry will be conducted to establish accountability.

Eyewitness Accounts of the Incident

Several witnesses recalled the horror of the crash. One shopkeeper near the highway said the bus was moving at high speed. Suddenly, it swerved and crashed into the motorcycle before toppling into the pit.

Another eyewitness added that cries for help filled the area within seconds. The heavy impact caused loud noise and dust covered the road. People immediately gathered and began pulling passengers out of the wreck.

The accounts reveal how quickly the situation escalated from normal traffic to a major accident scene.

NH-31 Accident Highlights Safety Concerns

This Begusarai accident again raises questions about road safety in Bihar. NH-31 carries heavy traffic, including buses, trucks and two-wheelers, every day. Poor road conditions and lack of maintenance often lead to accidents.

Locals claim that the section where the accident occurred has been problematic for long. Pits and uneven surfaces increase risks for vehicles, especially large buses carrying passengers. Despite repeated complaints, little action has been taken by authorities to fix the stretch.

The tragic loss of Roshni Devi and injuries to more than 50 Home Guards underline the urgency for better safety measures.

Emotional Impact on Victims and Families

The accident has left dozens of families in distress. Relatives of injured Home Guards have rushed to the hospital, waiting anxiously for updates. Many victims remain in shock after experiencing the traumatic event.

The family of Roshni Devi faces unbearable grief. Her husband and son, who survived the crash, are devastated by the sudden loss. Their journey for medical treatment turned into a life-changing tragedy.

Community members in Khagaria and Begusarai have expressed deep sorrow over the incident. Social organizations are offering support to the affected families.

Government Response Expected

After the incident, demands for government support and compensation have emerged. People expect financial aid for the injured Home Guards and the family of the deceased woman.

Officials from the district administration visited the hospital to check on the victims. Authorities have assured that medical treatment costs will be covered. Further announcements about compensation are expected in the coming days.

Road Accidents a Growing Concern in Bihar

The Begusarai bus accident adds to the long list of road mishaps in Bihar. Increasing traffic, lack of proper infrastructure and speeding often cause deadly crashes. NH-31 is known for frequent accidents due to its heavy load of vehicles.

Experts suggest regular monitoring of road conditions and strict traffic rules to reduce accidents. Training programs for drivers, better emergency services and improved road engineering are also required.

Unless strict measures are taken, such accidents will continue to endanger lives.

The NH-31 Begusarai accident serves as a painful reminder of road safety challenges in Bihar. A bus carrying 54 Home Guards fell into a pit after colliding with a motorcycle. All passengers suffered injuries, four critically, while a woman named Roshni Devi lost her life.

Local residents played a heroic role by rescuing the injured before emergency services arrived. Victims are receiving treatment at Begusarai Sadar Hospital. Police have started investigation to find the cause.

This accident highlights the urgent need for better road maintenance, driver awareness and strict enforcement of traffic rules. Families of the victims deserve immediate support, and preventive measures must be implemented to avoid future tragedies on NH-31 and other highways of Bihar.
