Six persons, including the conductor and driver of a KSRTC bus, sustained injuries when the vehicle crashed into the divider on a flyover on the national highway near Nelamangala in northwest Bengaluru on Saturday (May 18). They were sitting in the front of the bus. The other passengers suffered minor injuries.
The police, along with passersby, helped the passengers get out of the bus and rushed the injured to hospitals. The medical report of the driver is awaited to determine whether he was under the influence of alcohol. A technical team is inspecting the bus to determine the reason for the accident.
The bus was travelling from Somwarpete to Bengaluru and was moving up the ramp of the flyover at Madanayakanahalli when it crashed into the median. The bus remained dangling from the flyover for some time. The front portion of the bus was completely damaged. Police used a crane to put the bus back on the road.
Traffic movement on the stretch was disrupted for some time.
