Riyadh -A tragic road accident in Saudi Arabia early Monday morning has left 45 people from Hyderabad feared dead after a bus carrying pilgrims from Mecca to Medina collided with an oil tanker coming from the opposite direction. The crash caused a massive fire, gutting the vehicle and leaving almost no chance for those on board to escape. According to initial reports, all passengers were on a religious tour. Of the 46 individuals travelling in the ill-fated bus, only one person survived. The remaining 45 passengers were killed instantly in the violent impact and ensuing blaze.
