Mangaluru, Dec 21: The driver of a car had a providential escape in an accident which occurred between a bus and a car on national highway 66 near Beeri check-post, Kotekar on Monday December 21 morning.
The car driver has been identified as Azeem (23) from Uppala. He was travelling to Uppala from the city when the accident took place.
While avoiding a truck that had been parked in front of the Beeri check-post, Azeem drove further and in the process, his car collided head-on with a KSRTC bus that was bound for the city from Kasargod. The car suffered heavy damages in the accident.
While Azeem escaped miraculously in the accident, a few passengers in the bus suffered minor injuries.
A large number of people had gathered at the spot after the accident. At this point, a middle-aged man, who was apparently heavily drunk, started behaving in an unruly manner with the police. The police initially warned him to control himself but he continued to misbehave. The police, who got angry thereupon, took him away and subjected him to medical tests.
