Mangaluru: KSRTC NURM bus crashes into house compound after driver loses control


Daijiworld Media Network - Mangaluru

Mangaluru, July 20: A KSRTC NURM city bus rammed into the compound wall and stairway of a house at Land Links Township near Derebail here on Saturday evening after the driver reportedly lost control of the vehicle. Fortunately, no casualties were reported.

The incident occurred around 4:30 pm when the NURM city bus, operating on the Land Links–Bajal Padpu route, had just dropped off passengers at its last stop and was attempting to turn around for the return journey. During the manoeuvre, the driver lost control, causing the bus to break through the compound wall of a nearby house and collide with the steps leading to the terrace.

The front portion of the bus was damaged in the impact, and the house compound wall and stairway also suffered damage. It is reported that the house was unoccupied at the time, as the owners reside elsewhere.

Only a few people, including the driver and conductor, were in the bus during the incident. No injuries were reported. The matter has been settled amicably, and no police case has been registered, officials confirmed.

    Thank God no injuries to humans occured.I dont think its failure from bus driver.Afterall sometimes we have to think drivers and conductors also are humans.After long time driving for ?how many hours one is also very tired ,and narrow roads to swing the bus is difficult.First of all how one could get the licence to build a house in that so narrow line?No space left for any turns or footpath.?Hope no injuries to drivers happened.

    In such narrow lanes why didn't developer think of minimum road gaps for bus and such heavy vehicles. It's failure of town planning and not to the fault of driver.
