In a tragic incident, two students were killed and several others sustained injuries after a Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) bus collided head-on with a school bus in Karnataka's Raichur on Thursday. According to police, the bus was carrying students of Loyola School when the accident occurred.
The KSRTC bus, travelling at high speed from the opposite direction, swerved to avoid a pothole and crashed directly into the school bus, the police said. As per the information, as many as 15 injured students have been taken to RIMS Hospital for treatment with the help of Manvi police and local residents. Meanwhile, a case has been registered against the KSRTC bus driver at the Manvi police station.
Bus accident in Bengaluru
Last month, a major accident occurred in Bengaluru when a bus driver lost control of a Volvo bus, colliding with multiple vehicles near the Hebbal flyover. The incident left at least two individuals severely injured on August 13. The accident, captured on the bus's CCTV, shows the driver initially manoeuvring with one hand on the steering wheel. As he approaches traffic, he attempted to brake but instead crashes into at least four cars and five two-wheelers. The bus eventually stopped after hitting a car, which was dragged several meters and ended up horizontally in front of the bus. The video also captured the bus conductor rushing to the driver's seat, questioning why brakes were not applied. The bus's windshield was shattered during the collision.
