Bantwal, Nov 1: As a result of a head-on collision between a lorry and a KSRTC bus in Manihalla on Belthangady Bantwal highway here on November 1, four persons have been seriously injured including the drivers of both of vehicles. In addition, other six persons sustained minor injuries.
As the front portion of both of vehicles were badly damaged, it was extremely difficult to pull the injured including the drivers out from the vehicles. It was also raining heavily at that time. In spite of all the difficulties deputy superintendent of police (DySP) Raveesh CR and police jeep driver Satyaprakash pulled the injured out of the vehicles and took them by department vehicle to admit into hospital.
The work of Satyaprakash was widely appreciated by everyone present at the accident spot.
The bus was playing to Dharmasthala while the lorry was moving towards BC Road.
Bantwal traffic police have registered a case.
