Twenty six passengers suffered injuries after a Karnataka State Transport Corporation (KSRTC) bus rammed into a metro pillar on Mysuru Road. Among the injured, five passengers sustained severe injuries. The incident happened at around 1.30 a.m on Monday near Bangalore University gate. The bus (KA 09 F 5230) was coming from Mysuru.
While the passengers in the bus blamed reckless driving for the accident, one of the bus crew members said that the accident happened while negotiating a pothole. The stretch of Mysuru Road where the accident happened had a lot of potholes, which were filled up by the civic body later in the day.
