Charred bodies, mangled steel and last-ditch efforts to survive. The witnesses and survivors of the Mumbai-Nagpur Expressway accident recounted the immediate seconds after a Pune-bound luxury bus with 33 people on board steered off course, crashed into a divider, and caught fire, killing 25 people on Saturday.

Ayush Ghatge, who boarded the bus from Butibori, an industrial suburb of Nagpur, said he managed to escape the burning vehicle by breaking a window and crawling out.
"I was on the last seat and sleeping when the accident took place. I woke up when a few people fell on me after the accident. I immediately stood up and started looking for a window to come out. I started breaking a window and three of us came out with each other's help," news agency PTI quoted Ghatge as saying.
