Two persons, including a TNSTC bus driver, were electrocuted when the bus they were traveling in collided with an electric post between Gudalur and Ayyankolly on late Monday night.
The deceased were identified as Nagaraj (49), the bus driver, and Balaji, a passenger.
The bus was carrying over 30 people to its destination in Ayyankolly when it is believed that Nagaraj lost control of the vehicle and collided with the electric post. The two were electrocuted when a power line fell on the bus.
