Eight people were seriously injured after a Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) bus overturned near the VTU Campus at Muddenahalli in Chikkaballapur taluk on Saturday.
Some of the injured are said to be in critical condition. According to the officials, the KSRTC bus was travelling from Doddaballapur to Chikkaballapur with 26 passengers on board. According to preliminary information, the driver lost control of the bus while trying to avoid a tipper lorry coming from the Kanive Narayanapura side, causing the bus to overturn on the roadside. Following the accident, local residents and police rushed to the spot and carried out rescue operations. All the injured were shifted to the Sathya Sai Hospital in Muddenahalli for treatment. Hospital sources said that the condition of three of the injured remains critical. Preliminary investigations suggest that the negligence of both the tipper lorry driver and the KSRTC bus driver may have led to the accident. (ANI)
