Kundapur: Driverless bus rolls into parked car in unusual incident


Daijiworld Media Network – Kundapur (JD)

Kundapur, Jan 13: In an unusual accident, a bus belonging to Durgamba Motors rolled on its own without a driver from the company’s repair yard in Hangaluru on NH 66 and crashed into a parked car on the opposite side of the road.

The bus crossed the national highway, broke through a barricade, and eventually collided with a WagonR parked in the lot of a commercial complex.

Fortunately, no injuries were reported in the incident. Initial investigations suggest that a technical malfunction caused the bus to start moving while the driver was outside the vehicle.

The mishap was recorded on the commercial complex's CCTV cameras.

    Just sheer carelessness or the brakes did not work. The only consolation is that no one was injured and there was no loss of life. The driver/bus company should pay for the damages.

    Driver left it on netral without air brake or bad air bake. Busses he mostly have springs suspension (like trucks) making the travel hell.
