A 25-year-old man on a bike survived a collision with a private city bus in Mangaluru on April 8. The bike was dragged for around 50 metres and the bus went up in flames after the collision near the busy Hampankatta junction around 2.30 p.m.
Dylan, 25, who was on the two-wheeler, suffered a fracture in his leg and was admitted to the State-run Wenlock Hospital. The 20-odd passengers in the bus got off the bus before the vehicle was engulfed in flames.
Police Commissioner N. Shashi Kumar said Dylan, a resident of Ballalbagh, was heading towards his office in Valencia from K. S. Rao Road when he collided with the bus at the junction. The private city bus (route No.45 Ganeshpura Kaikamba-State Bank) was coming from Balmatta and heading towards State Bank of India bus terminus.
