Driving through the night under tight schedules, sleeper bus drivers frequently contend with drowsiness and inadequate infrastructure, which together create a high risk of accidents.

Cramped designs, flammable materials, and drowsy drivers have turned India's sleeper buses into "death traps", prompting authorities to implement stricter regulations.

Tran Thanh Hai, the sleeper bus driver whose vehicle burst into flames in an accident that killed 7 people, was arrested less than 24 hours after the incident.

A passenger bus was destroyed after hitting a guardrail on national highway 1, with shattered windows, deformed bed frames, and passenger belongings scattered across the grass, on the morning of 21/7.

Knowing how to use emergency hammers and fire extinguishers can enable passengers to escape and save lives when traveling by bus.

Two sleeper buses traveling in the same direction collided on National Highway 1 in An Chau commune, injuring three people early on 21/7.
