Early Monday morning in Mahabubnagar, Telangana, a private bus headed from Hyderabad to Proddatur crashed into a trolley on the Bengaluru National Highway.
The accident happened around 2am in Katavaram village and left four people dead—bus cleaner Hasan (35), Ashrafunnisa (70), Yellamma (40), and, according to some reports, Subba Raidu (55-60).

Police say the bus hit the trolley from behind while trying to overtake.
Superintendent D. Janaki stated, "We've registered a case and are investigating responsibility."
Among those lost was Yellamma, whose son Santosh was also on board—he's now left without both parents after losing his father last year.
The investigation continues as families and survivors process this sudden loss.
