A bus carrying Indian nationals travelling between Mecca and Medina crashed into a fuel tanker and caught fire, killing 45 of the 46 people on board. The sole survivor is being treated in Medina. Most passengers were from Telangana and had travelled from Hyderabad for Umrah. Rescue teams say many bodies were charred, making identification difficult. Indian and Saudi authorities are coordinating to confirm identities, and control rooms have been set up in Jeddah and Hyderabad. India’s Prime Minister has expressed condolences. Telangana has announced support for families. Saudi Arabia has reportedly recorded several similar pilgrim road accidents in recent years.
