The situation worsened when the overturned bus, which was running on CNG, caught fire due to a gas leak immediately after the crash.

Local residents rushed to the scene to assist in rescue operations. Fire and police personnel later arrived and brought the blaze under control after sustained efforts. The injured were immediately shifted to various hospitals in Surat, with some reported to be in critical condition.
The accident led to massive traffic congestion on the highway, with vehicles stranded for several kilometers. Police diverted traffic to alternate routes and have registered a case. Further investigation into the incident is currently underway.
