A slight commotion prevailed at NICE Road intersection in Konappana Agrahara Junction on Hosur main road on Thursday morning when a Bengaluru Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) bus hit a car. The car was turning left to enter NICE Road when the accident occurred. The traffic police manning the junction said that it is a usual scene every day.
While minor accidents may not go into the records as complaints are not filed, the Bengaluru police’s data shows that in the last three years, 25 major accidents were reported at this junction that has both entry and exit points to NICE and road connecting to Electronics City, an IT hub. In the case of Thursday’s accident, both the BMTC and car drivers were seemingly at fault for rash and negligent driving. About 500 metres on both sides of the stretch from the junction has been identified as an accident black spot by the Bengaluru City Police, who have also suggested measures to avoid such incidents.
